We are thrilled to invite you to a one-day celebration of the diverse contributions of women in computing. The event will highlight the plurality of roles available in across the sector, from academia to industry, placing the spotlight on a variety of career stages. There will be open conversations on the challenges which remain to increase diversity.
The event is open to all! We welcome champions of diversity: allies, minority and underrepresented groups alike. Whether you’re studying, or working in academia, government or industry, your perspective matters.
Additionally, there will be networking opportunities specifically for underrepresented genders in computing (e.g. women, non-binary and genderfluid people).
