Stanford Data Science Inaugural Conference - April 5th

Join Stanford Data Science for our first Stanford-wide event. This day-long conference provides an occasion for faculty, scholars, and students working on a variety of aspects of data science to come together to increase our sense of community and shared intellectual goals. The day includes panels, presentations, and short talks that offer participants the opportunity to learn from one another and discuss the future of data science and its application in stimulating new discoveries.

We will wrap up the day with a reception and poster session from our PhD student Data Science Scholars and Postdoctoral Data Science Fellows.
