1. Be Inspired by the trailblazers of Data

Across 3 dynamic stages: Data for Good, Modern Analytics AI & BI, and Teams & Culture, you’ll hear from our incredible Brand Partners who are driving systemic change in the data sector and championing equity at scale. This year, AI takes centre stage with its own dedicated platform, covering everything from strategy and culture to compliance and operational transparency. Our very own Founder, Roisin McCarthy will be exploring the ethical implications of AI in recruitment, a must-attend session for anyone considering their next career move. Cap Gemini in their Public Sector panel will explore the fast development of Agentic AI which is proving to be not just a technical challenge but a cultural one. Whether you’re early, mid, or late career, there’s something here for everyone.

2. Engage in powerful seminars & panel discussions

We’re proud to host thought-provoking sessions under the theme of Data for Good, supported by our Brand Partners and initiatives. Topics include:

  • Data’s role in improving street safety and policing
  • The future of women’s health and the role of data
  • Real-life stories of when data fails us
  • Leveraging geospatial and climate migration data to tackle climate-driven social and environmental challenges impacting women and children.

These initiatives are close to the mission of Women in Data®, progressively seeking more equality from misdiagnosis in healthcare, inclusivity in product design and technology to underrepresentation in research studies. We’re certainly super excited about the maturation of data in policing based on our findings uncovered in our Hidden Reality Survey findings .
