Giving women a platform is integral to competitive innovation

Founded in 2022, the Women in Sports Data (WISD) Symposium is a one-day event to cultivate community and cross-sport dialog among sports analytics experts. One of the largest and most diversely attended events in sports analytics, the Symposium has hosted over 350 attendees annually in person and online, with speakers and attendees representing every major sports league in North America.

The event features several panels and talks with industry-leading professionals across the technical spectrum and a data hackathon awarding over $10,000 in total prizes for the next generation of front office talent. WISD has partnered with some of the biggest brands in sports and tech, including ESPN Analytics, Microsoft, NBA, NFL, MLB, Sportradar, Sports Reference, Stats Perform, and Zelus Analytics, as well as several professional teams, including the Brooklyn Nets, Chicago Blackhawks, Houston Astros, Milwaukee Brewers, New York Liberty, and Philadelphia Phillies.
