WiDS Dublin

WiDS Dublin a digital conference took place on 9th June in association with Letterkenny Institute of Technology, Ireland. Being an Ambassador, I had an amazing time planning and hosting this regional conference, and networking with Ambassadors globally.

WiDS Dublin managed to connect the women around the world and support them in making a career in this evolving technology.

The stage was set to let women take a centre stage and to help other women to grow in the male dominated field.

While organizing the event, there were a few setbacks such as the speaker’s last-minute back out, and the pandemic which has changed our lives but as said by many the show must go on. This digital conference managed to be a success with 100 attendees, women and men both supported and joined the event.

The guest speakers Ruth Lennon, Lynda Owoo, and Sidra Bashir talked about their journey as well as gave an insight on diversity in Data Science. Ruth Lennon stated the importance of DevOps for Data Science; Sidra Bashir spoke about Building tools to Vet the quality and robustness of Large Datasets; Linda Owoo’s talk title was How I Got Into Analytics, she talked about her career transition in Data Science and how is it possible for anyone to make a move even if they have a different skill set.
