SPS Women in Tech Q3 2025 Lunch & Learn2025-09-17 · Minneapolis · one of 7post

The image for this POAP was created via GPT-5 with the prompt: I would like you to generate an image for a circular POAP badge with a vibrant teal-to-orange gradient background. At the center is the Women in Tech (WiT) logo — a clean, minimal flat-style laptop with coffee and charts inside, outlined in white. Radiating outward are subtle glowing neural network dots and arcs, minimal and elegant, giving an AI-inspired futuristic vibe. At the bottom-right inside the circle is a small playful line-art outline portrait of Jamie Thingelstad, wearing a hat with a bird perched on it, drawn in the same minimal outlined style as the WiT logo. Inside the circle edges, curved text: on top “WiT Q3 Lunch & Learn”, on bottom “How AI is Transforming Product Creation”. A small ribbon banner under the logo reads “Jamie Thingelstad · Sept 18, 2025”. Fun, playful, but clean and polished, with all elements fully contained within the circle for cropping.
