Intuit, the global financial technology platform that makes Intuit TurboTax, Credit Karma, QuickBooks, and Mailchimp is back with its inspiring ‘Women in Data Science’ (WiDS) conference, scheduled to be held in Bangalore on June 27. The event is dedicated to empowering women and fostering innovation in the realm of data science. The Women in Data Science (WiDS) conference has become a global movement in promoting diversity and inclusivity. WiDS, initiated by Stanford University, began as a one-day conference and has grown into a global data science movement. It now features conferences, a datathon, podcasts, workshops, and programs for future data scientists, reaching over 100,000 professionals annually. The event promises to be a convergence of brilliant minds from academia and industry, offering talks from distinguished visionaries, presentations by the industry’s leading female data scientists, and ample networking opportunities. Though the spotlight is on women, the conference is open to all genders to foster inclusivity and collaboration. This year, the theme for paper presentations is ‘AI for Content Generation and Personalisation’. There will be discussions around ethical AI and AI applications in fintech, healthcare, and business analytics, besides experimentation with generative AI, and content generation in advertising and marketing.
