The Women in Statistics and Data Science conference has become one of the ASA’s most popular and positive conferences. Last year’s WSDS welcomed more than 450 attendees, sponsors, and exhibitors. This fall’s conference should be on your list of must-attend events.

Women in Statistics and Data Science will take place this October in Cincinnati, Ohio. When we convene, we will gather professionals and students from academia, industry, and the government who are working in statistics and data science. WSDS offers unique opportunities to grow your influence, your community, and your knowledge, but—more importantly—to interact with other leading women in the field.

With a wide range of content—including engaging plenaries, poster sessions, short courses, and concurrent sessions about managing family-work balance, cutting-edge advances, and growing in your career—each attendee will find enriching material to help them at any stage.

Leaders from academia, industry, and government will come together to present a world-class experience for attendees, from student and postgraduates to seasoned professionals. Aarti Shaah of Eli Lilly, Claudia Perlich of Dstillery/NYU, and Alicia Carriquiry from Iowa State will give plenary talks. The technical content will again be top notch, but what sets this conference apart is the hands-on, warm, and engaging environment that proves particularly conducive to learning and growing in both professional and personal ways. What do attendees say about WSDS? They call the meeting welcoming, inspiring, empowering, motivating, eye opening, and awesome!

Mark October 18–20 on your calendar and learn more by visiting the WSDS website.
