Since 2015, the ACM SIGKDD India Chapter (IKDD) has been organizing the Data Science in India event collocated with KDD conference to showcase the state of growth of data science in India. Over the years we have been able to bring several renowned speakers from academia and industry in this forum which were greatly received by the community.
We are continuing the journey this year too and guess what, in a virtual manner! We continue to be collocated with KDD, not spatially but temporally (pun intended). Please take a moment to register for the event now and spread the word by forwarding this email to your network.
