Register for the Diversity Datathon

The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is launching a virtual Diversity Datathon supported by Amazon Web Services (AWS).

The goal of this competition is to create an innovative and impactful proof of concept (PoC) to increase gender diversity across the aviation industry in support of IATA’s global 25by2025 initiative.

Datathon participants will be asked to address one of two challenges:

• How to demonstrate to a CEO the impact of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion using data and/ or new technologies

• How can airlines redress the gender balance on the flight deck and other technical roles through data and/ or new technologies?

How does it work?

• Registration is open from March 22, 2023.

• The competition will run from March 22, 2023 - April 28, 2023.

• Open to professionals in the airline industry, including airlines, airports, software vendors, startups, software vendors (ISVs), systems integrators (SIs), and any other organizations working in the industry.

• Participants will have access to an AWS environment to build their proof of concept.

• Teams will attend a virtual kick-off session and will collaborate virtually .

• All teams can join training sessions on technical and business topics and office hours with AWS architects, industry specialists from IATA, and airlines.

• The winners will be revealed by IATA during the IATA General Meeting in June 2023.
