About the Conference
For the 7th year in a row, Intuit Israel is proud to bring the international, Stanford University-initiated Women in Data Science (WiDS) Conference to Tel Aviv.
We acknowledge that the past few months have been challenging for Israelis. The tragic events of October 7, along with the ongoing conflict in our region, have impacted many people. It’s been humbling to witness the resilience of Israeli society and its high-tech sector, which has continued to deliver results. With that in mind, and after careful consideration, we have decided to host our 7th WiDS TLV Conference in collaboration with the International Women in Data Science (WiDS) Conference.
The WiDS TLV 2024 event will take place at Sheva, 21 HaTsfira St., Tel Aviv, on April 15, 2024, from 9:00-16:00. It will feature illuminating technical talks and provide an opportunity to meet and connect in person. WiDS TLV is independently organized by Intuit Israel as part of the mission to increase participation of women in data science and to feature outstanding women doing outstanding work.
All proceeds from the event will benefit the Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel, a national nonprofit organization whose main aim is to combat sexual violence.
