Big Data LDN 2025 has now ended, but the impact of Women in Data® is still far reaching

It’s thanks to the work of our community that representation for women and allies at events like Big Data LDN continues to improve. This year, we filled 3 theatres with inspiring topics - from using data to drive positive impact in areas such as sustainability, public health, and social equity, to the transformative role of AI to the importance of inclusive cultures. We also welcomed a staggering 800 members and allies into our community.

Through our support and wider ecosystem, we not only support those career and personal development opportunities but also help you build lifelong friendships. Representation from a community matters and seeing leaders who look like you can often be the catalyst to light your career path.   

Connection, Allyship, and Representation – in conversation with senior leaders
In this conversation, senior community leaders Robin Sutara, Field CDO at Databricks, Manca Vitorino, Director of Data Ecosystem at LexisNexis Risk Solutions and Roisin McCarthy, Founder of Women in Data®, share powerful career advice, reflect on how community has shaped their journeys, and discuss their vision for the future of the Data & AI sector. Together they touch on:

  • Finding the right time to make a career move
  • The difference allies and mentors can make
  • Why representation and role models matter
  • How community builds confidence and helps us fight imposter syndrome
