Women in Data Science (WiDS) regional conferences were held across Asia, Africa, Europe, North America and South America. Events featured technical talks on a variety of data science fields, as well as workshops, panel discussions, and networking sessions. Participants also learned about speakers’ journeys into data science, getting career advice along the way. 

Here are their stories.

Would you like to have a positive impact on the women in your community? When you become a WiDS Ambassador, you provide inspiration, education, community, and support by hosting a WiDS conference or datathon workshop. Your WiDS event can help normalize the presence of women in data science by featuring outstanding local women doing outstanding work in the field! 

WiDS Ambassadors continue hosting regional events, bringing WiDS to their local communities. To date nearly 87 WiDS regional events have taken place, with dozens of additional events happening through the end of June.

This year WiDS ambassadors hosted in-person, online, and hybrid events to bring WiDS to their local communities. To date, nearly 70 WiDS regional events have taken place, with dozens of additional events happening in the coming months.
