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.
Past Grace Hopper Celebrations have resulted in collaborative proposals, networking, mentoring, and increased visibility for the contributions of women in computing.

ABI in cooperation with the National Science Foundation, Goldman Sachs and Google would like to announce the opening of the GHC2008 Scholarship Application Site. Full and partial travel scholarships for GHC2008 will be awarded to students and junior faculty. For complete details, visit the scholarship page. The deadline to submit a scholarship application is June 15th. Notification will be made on or before August 1st.
The Committee on the Status of Women in Computing Research (CRA-W) sponsors a program that provides travel support for women employed by industry and government research labs. The intent is to create a “safety net” for women to travel to conferences when their employer is unable to cover all or part of the cost. If you’ve ever been in a lab where the travel budget is cut dramatically because your company had a bad quarter, this program is for you.
Details are available on the website.

The just-arrived crowds are happy to listen, and the promise of the week ahead animates the room. Fortified with cocktail shrimp and sensible shoes, we set out to tour row after row of fascinating presentations at GHC 2007. And we spot one that is, well, different. It’s called “The Algorithms of Love.” Love—at GHC? Really?… Read more
