The mission of Women in Analytics is to provide visibility to the women making an impact in the analytics space and provide a platform for them to lead the conversations around the advancements of analytical research, development, and application.
WIA was founded in 2016 with the goal of supporting women in the analytics space and has grown into a global community focused on bringing visibility to women in the field while delivering top-notch analytics content.
The inaugural conference was hosted in Columbus, OH and hosted an audience of less than 150 individuals. Topics ranged from the skills necessary to successfully contribute and lead to the necessity of technical experience, the power of multiple perspectives, and the significance of research and discovery to conversations around understanding where women currently thrive, where they are underrepresented and how we can support an increase in diversity while generating awareness and support.
Over the years, our conference has been rated:
In addition to sharing our mission with a larger audience, we have successfully provided over seventy women with opportunities to share their analytics knowledge, sponsored sixty students and fly-ins to attend one of our conferences free of charge, and donated our conference proceeds to a number of incredible organizations.
