The 5^th Annual International Day of Women in Statistics & Data Science will be on Tuesday, October 6, 2026.

The conference theme is “Creating Global Connections”. With your participation as a presenter or attendee, you’ll contribute to the global community that is the IDWSDS Conference. While we are especially interested in talks that feature global teams of researchers or projects with international relevance, we recognize not all statisticians and data scientists do that type of work. Consider organizing a session containing speakers from around the world or with different perspectives. 

Yes, this is a virtual event in the spirit of the first Around the World conference. The online environment allows participation around the world without the time and costs associated with travel.

For the 2026 conference you can join the IDWSDS program as an Invited Session, Plenary Talk, or Contributed Talk.
