WiDS aims to inspire and educate data scientists worldwide, regardless of gender, and support women in the field. WiDS started as a conference at Stanford in 2015. Now, WiDS includes a global conference, with 150+ regional events worldwide.

On March 4, 2019, Budapest is joining the international conference. Our program contains 4 talks by data scientists and a panel discussion with women in data science about the present and the future of the field. It is planned that the Hungarian conference will be connected online with the one at Stanford. After the panel, we would like to invite all participants for a short networking event sponsored by SAP, Starschema, and Blackrock.

The event is free, but registration is required on Eventbrite.
