Encode Club X Women in Data : Tech Forward

Encode Club X Women in Data
Encode Club and Women in Data are joining forces for an evening of talks and conversation exploring what it really takes to build production-grade AI systems. Whether you're an engineer shipping agents, a researcher thinking about evaluation, or someone curious about a career in AI and data, this event brings together practitioners sharing hard-won lessons from the field.
Join us for three sessions covering agent harness design, career journeys in AI and data, and the craft of turning raw signal into meaningful insight.

Agenda
6:00 PM — Doors Open Arrive early to network with fellow builders, researchers, and the Encode Club and Women in Data communities over drinks and refreshments.
6.30 PM — Fireside Chat: Career Journey & Skills Janhvi Vyas (Business Development Manager @ TCS) and Shubhangi Goyal (Microsoft MVP)
A candid conversation about navigating a career in AI and data: the pivots, the lessons, and what it looks like to build a path in a field that's reshaping itself in real time.
7:10 PM — From Noise to Narrative Taha Undre (Data Analytics Lead)
How do you move from messy, ambiguous data to a story that drives decisions? Taha walks through the craft of extracting signal from noise and turning it into something teams can actually act on.
7.50 PM - The data beneath the data Cha'Von Clarke-Joell(Founder & CEO, CKC Cares Group)
The session looks at what data captures about a career, and more importantly what it does not, the contributions that go undocumented, the expertise that does not translate across systems, and the human gaps that become permanent once AI is trained on incomplete records. The audience will leave with a framework for reading their own career data honestly, and a clear sense of where the real opportunities sit at the intersection of data protection, governance, and AI ethics.
8.20 PM Closing remarks
