The Caucus for Women in Statistics and Data Science (CWS), the Portuguese Statistical Society (SPE), and the American Statistical Association (ASA) proudly announced the launching of the International Day for Women in Statistics and Data Science (IDWSDS) with its first annual celebration event on October 11, 2022.

The IDWSDS Conference is a global, fully online event held over a 24-hour period, bringing together statisticians, data scientists, researchers, professionals, educators and students from around the world.

The theme of the 2026 conference is: Creating Global Connections

IDWSDS 2026 welcomes submissions on a broad range of topics in statistics, data science and related fields. Technical contributions are very welcome, as are sessions focused on careers, leadership, education, mentoring, interdisciplinary collaboration, and the role of statistics and data science in addressing global challenges.

For 2026, the conference will include three types of program submissions:

• Plenary Talks - New for 2026, these are 30-minute solo presentations, including Q&A, on a technical topic of interest to the conference community. If a proposal is not accepted as a plenary talk, authors may choose to be considered for a 15-minute contributed talk.

• Invited Sessions - These are 60-minute sessions with exactly four confirmed speakers, each giving a 15-minute presentation. Sessions should be organized around a cohesive theme or topic, and all speakers must be confirmed before submission.

• Contributed Talks - These are 15-minute individual presentations. They may be grouped into themed sessions or added to invited sessions by the program committee.

The deadline for all program submissions: June 30, 2026

Important dates:

•  June 30, 2026 — Firm deadline for all program submissions

•  August 15, 2026 — Registration opens for speakers and attendees

•  October 6, 2026 — IDWSDS 2026 Conference Day

Further information about the submission process is available on the IDWSDS website. For any questions, please contact the organizing committee at info@idwsds.org.
