An independent regional initiative of WiDS at Stanford University
Already in the 1st year of WiDS Villach we where amazed by the large number of people attending the event. But this year we were blown away! More than 230 data science enthusiasts met on October 1, 2021 at the 2nd WiDS Villach conference.
The conference featured technical vision talks ranging from data science in the area of text analyses and natural language processing to data science in health applications. In the afternoon Katja Schechtner, Senior Urban Scientist at MIT and OECD gave a keynote about the usage of data and data science to understand urban mobility and to develop new concepts for it.
Recapping the conference day shows that the regional data science community exists and is vibrant. Apart from great presentations on stage from regional experts and lively Q&A sessions (on site & online), many data science enthusiasts participating on site engaged into discussions during the breaks.
Building up a regional network was one of our goals when starting WiDS Villach and we are more than happy that already in the 2nd year we achieved so much.
Thanks to all participants for making the conference a great success!
No problem! The records of the talks are available on our YouTube channel.
Great! We are constantly looking for people who would like to join our organizing team, for people who help spreading the word in their network and of course for sponsors. If you are interested, just drop us a line at office@widsvillach.org.
We are looking forward to meeting you again in May 2022!
