About the Women in Data Science Worldwide Initiative
In 2020 the WiDS Worldwide conference reached over 100,000 people across the globe, online and in person, with 20,000+ attendees at WiDS Stanford and 150+ WiDS regional events in 50+ countries.
The Women in Data Science Worldwide initiative was launched with a one-day technical conference at Stanford University in November 2015. The inaugural conference livestream was watched by 6,000+ people from all around the world, indicating an opportunity for global impact.
Since then, the WiDS has become more of a global movement, featuring a conference, a datathon, a podcast series, and an education outreach program.
Our goals
1. To inspire participants about exciting areas of research and application in data science by highlighting models and demonstrating the wide variety of opportunities in data field.
2. To educate all participants, regardless of gender, about the latest research and state-of-the-art technologies, challenges and future trends.
3. To support women in the field of data science, helping them to gain exposure for their work, and energizing them to continue to pursue opportunities related to data science and AI.
