The UC Berkeley School of Information is excited to partner with Stanford University to bring the Women in Data Science (WiDS) conference to Berkeley, California.

The Global Women in Data Science (WiDS) Conference is an annual one-day technical conference based at Stanford, which brings together data scientists and professionals in adjacent fields from around the globe to discuss the latest research and applications of data science in a broad set of domains. Participants learn how leading-edge companies are leveraging data science for success and connect with potential mentors, collaborators, and others in the field.

Keynotes and technical talks from the WiDS conference at Stanford will be live streamed.

All genders are invited to participate in the conference, which features exclusively female speakers.

In partnership with the main conference live stream, WiDS Berkeley features on-location events with distinguished speakers from the Bay Area in academia and industry.
