Women in Data Science Zürich 2026

WiDS Zürich 2026 - Two Events. One Experience. Real Impact.

Learn what actually works in Data Science and AI and connect with people who are building it.

This spring, Women in Data Science Zürich invites you to two flagship events designed to move beyond theory and into practice. Whether you want to sharpen your skills, rethink your career or understand how AI is really applied in organisations - this is where it happens.

11 May 2026 - Humans + Data: Empowering Skills and Shaping Careers

📍On Labs, Zurich
🕓 16:00–20:30

A highly interactive pre-event focused on the human side of working with data and AI.

As technology evolves fast, the real challenge is not only understanding AI, but knowing how to work with it, adapt to it and make better decisions because of it.

This event is designed for exactly that.

What you gain:

• Practical understanding of how bias and ethics show up in real work

• Tools and perspectives to navigate your career in the AI era

• Hands-on experience in small-group workshops (technical + soft skills)

• Direct access to experienced practitioners through mentorship tables

• Honest conversations, not presentations, in a small, engaged setting

What to expect:

• Expert panel on bias, decision-making and real-world trade-offs

• Parallel workshops (AI fairness, career strategy, advanced data skills)

• Mentorship sessions and open discussions

• Strong focus on interaction, not passive listening
