"Collaborating Across Boundaries"
The Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing is a series of conferences designed to bring the research and career interests of women in computing to the forefront. Presenters are leaders in their respective fields, representing industrial, academic and government communities. Leading researchers present their current work, while special sessions focus on the role of women in today's technology fields, including computer science, information technology, research and engineering.
The annual conference is the world's largest gathering of women in computing. This year's theme, "Collaborating across Boundaries," recognizes the significant role women play in using technology to work together across various borders including gender, scientific, social, geographical, racial and political. Scheduled keynote speakers are 2008 ACM Turing Award winner Barbara Liskov, Duy-Loan Le of Texas Instruments, and Carol Bartz, Yahoo! CEO. Registration opens June 1.
Past Grace Hopper Celebrations have resulted in collaborative proposals, networking, mentoring, and increased visibility for the contributions of women in computing.
