Title: Power Hour: Demystifying women in data
Join us for a powerful panel workshop to explore what it’s like to work in data in financial regulation & smash stereotypes.
Working in the constantly evolving data industry is both exciting & challenging. But research states that women are still underrepresented in data and technology professions, especially in senior positions.
By the end of this panel event you will have:
