About this Event
is back in person! And what better way to celebrate launching back into in-person events than a Women in Data Speaker Night at an Earth Data company this summer! So join us at Planet in Berlin on July 5, as we meet the women in data of Berlin’s tech community, learn about their experience in data science, data engineering, and analytics, while we enjoy delicious food, drinks, and some long overdue in-person networking!
What’s the plan?
Ever wondered about the difference between a data analyst, data engineer, analytics engineer, data scientist, and possibly even more data related roles? Maybe you're interested in jobs in data, or already work in a data role, but are curious about career progression? The number of data related roles, titles and responsibilities is ever increasing, because there is such a vast number of opportunities in how data can be leveraged to inform our products and decisions.
This speaker night we want to meet some of Berlin’s women leaders in data and, well, ask them all your burning questions! We are getting together at Planet in Berlin, a space tech company headquartered in SF that’s using earth data from space to help life here on earth. We’ll begin with a talk from Pooja Pandey, a PM from Planet, followed by a Panel discussion with Gráinne McKnight, Agnes van Belle and Eva Schreyer - our speakers from Berlin’s hottest tech companies. As always, FTL invites you to come as you are, regardless of gender, background, age, or anything else.
