The Women in Data Science (WiDS) Cambridge conference will take place Thursday, March 11, 2021 on Zoom and registration will be open next week. The conference organizers are seeking posters from students and researchers for a poster session.
For the fifth year, Harvard, MIT, the Broad Institute and Microsoft Research New England are proud to collaborate with Stanford University to bring the Women in Data Science (WiDS) conference to Cambridge, Massachusetts. This one-day virtual conference will feature an all-female line up of speakers and panelists from academia and industry to talk about the latest data science-related research in a number of domains, to learn how leading-edge companies are leveraging data science for success, and to virtually connect with potential mentors, collaborators, and others in the field.
