The Global Women in Data Science (WiDS) Conference aims to inspire and educate data scientists worldwide, regardless of gender, and support women in the field. This annual conference is held at Stanford University and 80+ locations worldwide via livestream or delayed broadcast, hosted by WiDS Ambassadors.

This one-day technical conference provides an opportunity to hear about the latest data science related research in a number of domains, learn how leading-edge companies are leveraging data science for success, and connect with potential mentors, collaborators, and others in the field. All genders are invited to participate in the conference, which features exclusively female speakers.

​WiDS is spearheaded by Stanford University's Institute for Computational and Mathematical Engineering (ICME) with broad support from across Stanford and from corporate sponsors.
