What is Data Circles?
Data Circles is a community that supports the pursuit and cultivation of knowledge about data science, and promotes the role of women in leading the field. We work to foster an inclusive, supportive environment to exchange knowledge and share experiences. We provide a platform for women and gender minorities to lead technical talks, workshops, and other events. Our activities are open to all genders and experience levels.

Do I need to be a member to attend these events?

It also helps by giving us a clearer picture of the needs of our community which in turn we can communicate to our sponsors. So by all means, come to some events, kick the tires and see if it’s for you. If you benefited from them, please join this great group of people growing in data together!
