**IWD Data Challenge 2026** For this year's data challenge, we asked you to explore and analyze data from your communities. Whether that meant digging into datasets about Ottawa, Gatineau, the broader National Capital Region, or another place that feels like home, the goal was to uncover community-focused insights. If you'd like more background on the challenge itself, you can find the full details in the [original event listing](https://www.meetup.com/rladies-ottawa/events/313489942/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=share-btn_savedevents_share_modal&utm_source=link&utm_version=v2&member_id=264488364) or on [our webpage](https://rladies-ottawa.github.io/events/2026/iwd.html). **Join Us for the Showcase Event** We're excited to celebrate the hard work and creativity of everyone who took part in this year's challenge. Join us for a fun, casual hybrid event on **Tuesday, April 28th**, where participants will walk us through their submissions. It's also a great oppotuity to connect with others in the city who are passionate about data, learning, and community! **Event Details** This event is **free to attend**, with limited in-person capacity. Please reserve an in-person spot only if you plan to join us onsite. Bayview Yards is located just a stone's throw away from the Bayview station. There is also a free parking lot for those who are driving. You can find us in the Training Room, located on the second floor of the building. **If You're Presenting** Please bring your laptop and charger so you can walk us through your project. **Community Guidelines** Please note that the mission of R-Ladies is to increase gender diversity in the R community. The data challenge and showcase are intended to provide a safe space for women and gender minorities. We ask for male allies to be invited by and accompanied by a woman or gender minority. **Special Thanks** We are grateful to be part of the Bayview Yards Meetup Program and extend our thanks to Bayview Yards for generously providing the venue space.
