Women in Data Science [WiDS] started as a conference at Stanford in November 2015. Now, WiDS includes a global conference, with approximately 200+ regional events worldwide; a datathon, encouraging participants to hone their skills using a social impact challenge; and a podcast, featuring leaders in the field talking about their work, their journeys, and lessons learned. 

WiDS aims to inspire and educate data scientists worldwide, regardless of gender, and to support women in the field. 

We are proud to bring the global WiDS initiative to Carinthia [Austria] for the second time and place Villach on the WiDS map.

All data science enthusiasts are invited to join WiDS Villach 2021 on October 1, 2021, to hear about the latest data science related research and applications in a broad set of domains, learn how leading-edge companies are using data science for success, and to connect with the local scene.

WiDS Villach 2021 is organized in cooperation with the initiative AI Carinthia. The conference will be a hybrid event, this means you can choose between online or in person attendance. For in person attendance you will need to show either a negative COVID-19 test or proof of vaccination/past infection (“3G rule”) at the registration desk.
