Iffel International Announces CEO Hema Dey as Keynote Speaker for 2026 WITOC AI Town Hall

Partnership marks the official launch of Dey’s 2026 Speakers Tour ahead of her debut book

ANAHEIM HILLS, CA, UNITED STATES, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Iffel International today announced that CEO Hema Dey, the Forbes-recognized Top 5 AI Leader and creator of the SEO2Sales™ methodology, will headline the Women in International Trade – Orange County (WITOC) 2026 AI Town Hall, taking place January 23, 2026, at Chapman University.

The event, titled “You Are What You EEAT: Reimagining Marketing & Sales with AI for Global Growth,” serves as the first major stop on Dey’s 2026 speakers tour, which will span international business organizations, university innovation centers, global leadership conferences, and private speaking engagements for business leaders at companies and their boards of directors in advance of her forthcoming book on AI-driven business transformation.

The WITOC partnership represents a strategic collaboration to equip executives with the clarity, frameworks, and tools needed to navigate the accelerating convergence of human and artificial intelligence. In conjunction, Dey has been appointed to the WITOC Advisory Council beginning January 2026 as WITOC’s Artificial Intelligence Strategy Advisor.

“With AI redefining competitive advantage, leaders need actionable pathways, not theory,” said Hema Dey, CEO of Iffel International. “WITOC’s AI Town Hall is the ideal place to begin this year’s tour, bringing global trade, technology, and leadership conversations together in one room.”

Dey’s speaking tour will expand on the principles behind her SEO2Sales methodology, which integrates neuroscience, AI insights, and data-driven marketing to help companies increase visibility, improve conversion rates, and scale with predictable momentum. Her upcoming book will further explore how AI is reshaping decision-making, brand credibility, and market expansion for organizations operating domestically and abroad.
