Some notes from today, which was focused on Women in Data Science:

• could only follow via Twitter, since none of the slides were posted, and there was no livestream, though a few tweets contained brief video recordings
• fair amount of celebratory tweets, some nice quotes and pics, not much discussion
• sessions are mostly keynotes and panels, not much room for interaction with the audience
• while Western conferences often have all-male, all-white panels with an occasional white female, they had all-female panels throghout, mostly all-black, with an occasional white female.
• sustainability (and the SDGs in particular) popped up in lots of contexts

Today was similar to yesterday, except that the strong emphasis on women was gone.
I asked for presentations or further information in some cases - we'll see what that gives.

Yesterday, I did not link any of the video tweets, since the audio and especially the video were of poor quality. Today, there were a few more, and while the quality has not changed, I think it's good to note some for the record (e.g. here and here) and to think about how such channels can be used effectively.

At least some sessions seem to have been recorded professionally (e.g. here), so there is a chance that these get published later one.
