About She Loves Data

She Loves Data was born out of the belief that women have many talents, virtues, and value to bring to the table when it comes to data, technology, and analytics. Our goal is to help women become more Data Literate by providing Workshops and events, organize Hackathons and build a community of like-minded women for them to find their #DataTribe.

We started in Singapore in October 2016 and we run over 38 workshops in Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, and Indonesia & 3 successful Hackathons. Since October 2016 we’ve trained up over 2,260 women through She Loves Data events. The global online community of over 5,000 women!

About This Event

Data Engineering (and it’s problems and challenges) doesn’t get enough spotlight. If you look at the trending topics, it’s AI, ML, Data Science, Deep Learning and what not. Yet research tells you that up to 80% of the sexiest job in the world (aka Data Scientist) is made up of gathering and cleaning data and dealing with its quality. What Data Engineering means, what challenges it meets and how you can grow up as Data Engineer – these and other questions will be covered this evening. Speakers presentations will be followed by an informal panel discussion – prepare your questions!
