GA + Boston's Data Women: Kick-off Roundtable Discussion | Boston

About this event

Introduction Join GA and Boston's Data Women Meetup to kick off the year right. Join us for a lively roundtable discussion on women in data, and an evening of camaraderie on Wednesday, January 11.

Why it Matters? When it comes to engaging and lucrative careers this year, data science and analytics are at the top of the list . Yet, research shows that only 12% of data scientists are women, and the numbers are similar in other analytical roles. What is causing this disparity, and how can we begin to address it in 2017? How can we actively make the environment in data more friendly and accessible to women?
