What is it?
The Women in Analytics Conference has just put out their 2022 call for speakers.
The Woman in Analytics Conference is a truly special event that brings women together from a wide range of analytical backgrounds. The event offers speaking sessions, poster sessions, an expo hall and a career fair. Additionally, they provide a number of different networking options suited to people’s interests and comfort level. I attended the conference last year and was able to meet amazing women both informally through fun events and coffee chatter and formally through pre-arranged coaching or mentoring sessions!
Why is it Awesome?

It’s an awesome event because the atmosphere is vibrant, engaging and welcoming! I will definitely be attending the event in 2022.
In 2021, Tiffany Cross and I were fortunate enough to speak on the subject of "Data Democratization: Enabling Citizen Data Scientists" and the speaker experience is first class! The conference organizers created a supportive and engaging end to end speaker environment to let speakers know that they are valued and appreciated.
The WIA conference provided pre-event professional speaker and content coaching in a group setting. I learned a lot during the coaching sessions that I will use in other speaking engagements. The coaches provided valuable feedback which we incorporated into our presentation. Because the coaching was in a group setting, we met other speakers before the conference and had immediate friends upon arrival. Before conference kick-off they hosted an intimate speaker mixer. It was a great opportunity to get to know even more inspiring women before the event. During the event they offered a speaker lounge with snacks to relax, take calls, chat etc. I share all of this because participating as a speaker at this event was an excellent experience for me and I’d like to see other women have the opportunity.
