We look forward to having you join us at the Annual WLDA Summit and Awards Gala in NYC on Dec. 2nd, 2021 where F1000 Tech leader attendees will hear from thought leaders, experts, innovators, and entrepreneurs across the data and AI fields.  

Education and inspiration abound throughout the full-day TED Talk-style event:
