- Showcasing women and their contributions to the statistics and data science fields
- Connecting female statisticians and data scientists around the world
- Encouraging collaborations among global statistical societies
- Increasing diversity and inclusivity in statistics and data science
- Bridging the fields of statistics and data science
There will be both live and recorded presentations. Submit a session idea by August 30.
