The Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing (GHC) is a conference series that brings the research and career interests of women in computing to the forefront. Presenters are leaders in their fields and represent industrial, academic, and government communities. Leading researchers present their current work, and special sessions focus on the role of women in technology fields such as computer science, information technology, research, and engineering.
Microsoft is pleased to sponsor Grace Hopper for the sixth consecutive year as a Platinum Sponsor. The work of the Anita Borg Institute and the Association for Computing Machinery, in coordination with the Grace Hopper Conference, is critical in attracting and retaining women who will create new technological innovations all over the world.
