Join us for a series of events celebrating Women in Data Science at UC Berkeley. WiDS Berkeley is an independent event that is organized by the UC Berkeley WiDS ambassadors part of the annual WiDS Worldwide conference organized by Stanford University and an estimated 150+ locations worldwide, which features outstanding women doing outstanding work in the field of data science. All genders are invited to attend all WiDS Worldwide conference events.
We will stream content from the global WiDS events and provide live, virtual programming for the UC Berkeley campus throughout the week featuring distinguished scholars and practitioners from across the Bay Area and the world.
