Nordic
Women
and Data
Summit
The Nordic Women and Data Summit (NWD Summit) is envisioned as an annual event bringing together the community of women data practitioners to share ideas, discuss ways to harness the full potential of data and accelerate data- and AI-innovation across organisations.
On stage, we are bringing some of the most forward thinking female data practitioners of different positions and responsibilities in organisations from both private and public sector in the Nordics, covering topics that will provide a holistic approach to value creation of data and information, and turning this information to action.
The NWD Summit is a place for all women practitioners working with Data Management, Analytics, Engineering, Data Science, Machine Learning, IOT and Artificial Intelligence.
Who should attend
The NWD Summit is tailor made for any female data practitioners and organisations working with:
Data-Driven or AI-Driven Business Strategy
/> CHIEF DATA OFFICER
/> CHIEF DIGITALIZATION OFFICER
/> HEADS OF DATA AND
INFORMATION GOVERNANCE
or utilisation of
/> DATA SCIENCE
/> MACHINE AND DEEP LEARNING
/> NLP AND AI TO INNOVATE AND
IMPROVE BUSINESS
Why attend
BASED ON INSPIRATION AND DOMAIN INSIGHT
Why is it important
It goes without saying that there is a deficit of talent and gender inequality in data practice across domains and industries, an issue that we want to remedy by creating a community platform for female data practitioners and organisations to recognise and foster female talent.
