We are excited to announce we have started planning the Vancouver Women in Data Science (WiDS) conference for 2022 and are looking for speakers! We encourage women interested in speaking to submit a short proposal relevant to this year's topic — Data Science in Production: Swimming in the Ocean. To apply and for more information check out the Application Proposal.

Data Science as a Service
Externally, what kind of data services does your company provide and how do you evaluate the service quality? Internally, how do you use data to cultivate product and culture growth?
Impossible Data Science
What are your data science messed-up stories? Which mistakes have you made while conducting data analysis? What kind of misleading data visualizations have you encountered? What are the common bad practices that you have witnessed in the industry?
Data Ethics & Privacy
How do you implement data privacy in practice? How to protect Personal Identifiable Information (PII) while maintaining the insights needed for your analysis? What are ways companies use to enforce data ethics and comply with current regulations? We want to hear from current practice what the real world is using to help push this movement forward.
Data Science Ecosystem
Deploy and maintain machine learning models in production reliably and efficiently.
