- Connect with others with common backgrounds, ethnicities, disabilities, and gender so as to create communities that extend beyond the conference;
- Obtain advice from and make contacts with computing leaders in academia and industry;
- Be inspired by great presentations and conversations with leaders with common backgrounds.
The Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing

Grace Hopper is the largest gathering of technical women in the world, an exciting celebration of diversity in tech, and a fantastic academic and professional opportunity. GHC features professional and personal development workshops, a career fair, social activities, and research presentations.
