WiDS Geneva 2024
Thank you for joining us on March 8th 2024, at the Campus Genevois de Haute Horlogerie for the Women in Data Science Geneva conference.
Our technical conference featured outstanding women discussing their work in the field of data science, in a wide variety of domains.
Highlights coming soon!
After three successful conferences, the demand for WiDS in Geneva remains high. We're thrilled to announce our successful 2024 conference, which delivered another exceptional lineup of talks and workshops.
We welcomed esteemed speakers from across Europe, representing leading organizations such as Microsoft, Swiss Data Science Center, Expedia Group, Richemont, and Tableau, among others. They delivered insightful talks and engaging workshops on various facets of data science.
Attendees learnt about latest advancements in data science during talks, gained practical skills in workshops, seized networking opportunities, refined their professional profiles through a CV clinic, and even won 2 months of free tuition for EPFL Extension School online courses through our exclusive lottery for 5 lucky winners.
WiDS Geneva is an independent event that is organized by the Women in Data Science Geneva association to coincide with the annual Global Women in Data Science (WiDS) Conference held at Stanford University and an estimated 150+ locations worldwide. All genders are invited to attend WiDS regional events, which features outstanding women doing outstanding work.
