Hi all,
Inspired by the Women in Data+AI Breakfast at the Databricks World Tour in Sydney, I'm considering the potential for a new womens' networking community based in Sydney. This group would cater to women currently working in or interested in pursuing careers in data and AI fields. The idea is to host monthly meetups where members can discuss specific topics related to data and AI.This community could serve several purposes:
Knowledge Sharing
- Facilitate discussions on current trends, challenges, and innovations in data and AI
- Provide a platform for members to share their experiences and insights
Career Development
- Offer mentorship opportunities
- Share job openings and career advancement strategies
Networking
- Create connections among women in the field
- Foster collaborations and partnerships
Skill Enhancement
- Organize workshops or presentations on specific data and AI technologies or methodologies
- Encourage peer-to-peer learning
The monthly meetings could feature:
- Guest speakers from the industry
- Case study presentations
- Hands-on workshops
- Open discussions on pre-selected topics
This initiative aims to create a supportive environment where women in data and AI can connect, learn, and grow together professionally. It could help address the gender gap in these fields and empower more women to pursue and excel in data and AI careers. Does this concept resonate with you? Would you be interested in participating in or helping to organize such a community?
