Welcome to the Women in Data Science Purdue University Conference site

The third annual Women in Data Science (WiDS) at Purdue University is set for Monday, March 2 in the Purdue Memorial Union.

Started at Stanford in 2015, the WiDS initiative aims to inspire and educate data scientists worldwide, regardless of gender, and support women in the field. The annual global conference is now held in conjunction with many other entities around the world. At Purdue, the goal is to help build a community focused on data science and to inspire and raise awareness among students and community members about the opportunities for women in the data science field.

The daylong conference is set from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. in the Purdue Memorial Union. The conference is open and free to Purdue University students, faculty, staff, and individuals in industry who work in data science.
