whykay 👩🏻💻🐈🏳️🌈 (she/her)Happy Winter Solstice! And It's nearly Christmas, time has flown and thanks to everyone's support, from my co-organisers, Lei and Mick, all the speakers, those who joined us on the live-streams, companies jumping in with speakers and even raffle prizes and all our community partners. We couldn't have done it this year without all of you.
I pulled info (anonymised it all, donthca worry), and looked at typically the roles of people who attended all our meetups over the year.
I even made a word cloud:
Here's a word cloud of the reasons why people are attending our meetups this year (I know, it is related to the talk topics, but still nice anyway):

Next year...
We are really excited to announce our partnership with Women in AI Ireland next year.
What will it be about?
We will be partnering on their WaiPRACTICE mentoring programme.
If one of your plans for the new year is playing around with different problem solving use-cases to learn, apply and grow your skills around #DataScience, #Python #MachineLearning, or #ArtificialIntelligence by collaborating with a group of like-minded people then our upcoming programme is exactly what you need !
We will be announcing the details for registration soon so don't forget to follow Women in AI Ireland and Pyladies Dublin for the latest updates.

And more info about WaiPRACTICE:
WaiPRACTICE is a subset of WaiLEARN, our main education program. WaiPractice is a playground where #learners, #enthusiasts, and #experts can collaborate and practice their skills, grow their knowledge, share best practices, explore new use-cases, and simultaneously grow their networks in the domain of #AI.
📢 Heads up, if you are interested in being a mentor, drop us an email at dublin@pyladies.com and we will follow up with more details next Jan.
We are so excited about this partnership, and can't wait to share more dets with you next year!
Finally...
PyLadies Dublin would like to wish everyone Season's Greetings and a Happy New Year. Stay safe and we look forward to in-person events next year, although the first few meetups will be remote.
