About Women in Big Data:
Women in Big Data (WiBD) is an inclusive community of professionals and aspiring professionals who appreciate that big data is a tool being harnessed at every level, in every industry today, to shape tomorrow.

We believe that female and non-binary practitioners and leaders offer tremendous talent, ingenuity, and unique perspectives that will amplify the positive impact of big data on our future. To that end, our supportive community is united in a common vision in which gender doesn’t limit participation and impact in big data-influenced careers.

Women in Big Data started as a grass-roots organization in 2015 with the mission to grow tangible opportunities for women, unlock latent potential, act as a catalyst for advancement, and empower equity allies of any gender. Starting with 15 members and one chapter in San Francisco, the WiBD community grew to over 20,000+ members across 50+ chapters and six continents spreading inspiration, growing professional networks, and representing women’s success on an ever-expanding platform.
