The Black Women in Data (BWD) Summit 2023 is a two-day professional development event for Black women data leaders and their allies. On September 23-24, we've planned a combination of keynote, panel, breakout sessions, happy hour, skills workshops and Sunday brunch that's intimate, inspiring and informative. It's a time for attendees, both in-person or online, to receive real, practical and actionable guidance and connections to level up their data careers -- in corporate or in their own company!
Since AI systems, tools and platforms aren't designed with Black women in mind, we intentionally center Black women's point of view in all spaces where data lives. That means we pay our speakers, we give useful swag items like books, we share resources and we create a safe space that's majority Black women. The attendees are able to invest these two days in themselves without mentees. We discuss under-discussed topics from salaries to side-hustles.
Black women want to attend but can't due to lack of PTO time, inability to obtain approval from their employer, or insufficient personal funds. The majority of our vendors are Black women-owned and operated vendors -- speakers, photography, videography, catering, swag items, etc. We'll continue to support their educational and economic growth. And we'd welcome to partner with you to make this a true care experience we envision. Gift to the BWD Summit what you can. Any gift is appreciated!
