The  Women’s Wireless Leadership Forum will be hosting a charitable networking event on Thursday, October 22, 2026, 6-9 p.m. ET at Legion Brewing’s location in South Park Charlotte, North Carolina at 5610 Carnegie Blvd in Capitol Towers.

In addition to being a networking opportunity, the event will serve as a school supply drive for Classroom Central which has an ongoing need for materials. We ask that all attendees bring at least one item to contribute. The 9 supplies most needed include pencils, crayons, colored markers, highlighters, dry erase markers, composition books, filler paper, one subject notebooks and pocket folders.

Classroom Central fosters equity in education by providing teachers and students with the free resources they need to succeed. It serves teachers and students in nearly 200 schools across six regional school districts. It distributes supplies through its Free Store, Mobile Free Store, Curbside Pick-Up, Subscription Service and several other community-supported initiatives. Since opening its doors in 2002, Classroom Central has distributed over $74 million worth of free school supplies.  

All are welcome (WWLF members, non-members, men and women). Contact Megan Reed for more information. Please note, this event has a guest maximum, so please only register if you can attend.

From Insight to Action: Agentic AI in Telecom Change Management

In complex operations, the hardest part isn't spotting pdeciding whatto do, fast, with incomplete information. In this session, we explore how agentic AI is transforming change management in telecom, moving from long, rule-based conflict lists to prioritized, explainable recommendations that surface risk and impact before a decision is made. Using a real-world example, we'll show how intelligence layered onto existing systems empowers smarter, faster choices - keeping people firmly in the loop. A practical look at AI in practice, and where leaders can take it next.

Deepika Chanamolu is a Director on the AI & Data team at Incedo, working at the intersection of telecom domain expertise and applied AI to bring agentic AI solutions into production across network operations. She brings more than two decades of telecom experience, including nine years at Verizon spanning RF engineering, network planning, wireless assurance, operations, and network implementation, with a later focus on AI-enabled analytics and cloud migration. A longtime member of the Women's Wireless Leadership Forum, Deepika is passionate about advancing and mentoring women in telecom.

Joshua Gebhardt is a Vice President at Incedo, leading commercialization and go-to-market strategy for the company’s AI, data, and product portfolio, with a focus on telecommunications solutions. With more than 15 years of experience spanning AI, analytics, cloud, SaaS, and enterprise technology, he has held leadership roles at SAP Concur, Talend, Twilio, and Qlik. Joshua specializes in translating emerging technologies into scalable business outcomes, helping organizations leverage data and AI to drive transformation, innovation, and measurable value.

Bon Appétit & Bonne Connexion!

Join WWLF for a fun and flavorful networking experience where good conversation meets great French cuisine! Step away from the usual networking event and into the kitchen for an interactive French cooking class.

Together, we’ll prepare a delicious three-course menu featuring shrimp en papillote, braised Dijon chicken with pommes purées and roasted vegetables, and a seasonal clafoutis for dessert.

Along the way, you’ll learn and practice classic French cooking techniques, including searing, braising, steaming, boiling, and roasting, all while connecting with fellow WWLF members in a relaxed, hands-on setting.

Come ready to cook, connect, laugh, and enjoy a little taste of France! No culinary experience required. Just bring your appetite and your appetite for networking.

Good food. Great connections. A little French flair. À bientôt!
