At the end of last year, the Women in Data conference hosted by Datatech Analytics, had a line-up that was noticeably different from that of the year before. At the end of the 2017, a member of the audience questioned the organisers about why the speakers at the event were not more racially diverse. Roisin McCarthy accepted that criticism and invited the delegate to help make the following year’s event more inclusive. Her name is Yasmin Hinds.
She told me that following the exchange, she was invited to the Women in Data committee to help shape the vision for the 2018 event. She said: “I found that to be a very useful group to participate in because it helped me to shape the agenda and provide some input. I found the organisers to be extremely engaging and very co-operative in terms of peoples’ ideas so that was really positive.” Hinds was a panellist on the ‘Data Trust’ session, moderated by DataIQ’s David Reed.
