rewards of computing careers or in advancing technology through broader
representation of women.

high school students interested in computing,
high-school teachers, faculty, and professional women.
Do I need to register?
Yes, every attendee has to register. The non-refundable registration
fee of $25 will cover all meals and materials. After January 15 the fee
will increase to $35. The registration is heavily
subsidized by our sponsors.
Please visit the registration page to
register.
Who can apply for scholarships?
Generous scholarships provided by our sponsors will cover hotel
costs in a shared double room for Friday night for anyone registered
for the conference who needs a hotel accommodation.
The preferred deadline to apply for scholarships is January 15.
Visit the registration page to apply.
Attendees who need travel reimbursment or hava a particular financial
hardship and cannot cover the registration can also apply for
a scholarship.
What if I miss the deadline of January 15 to apply for a scholarship?
If funding and hotel rooms are still available we will accept scholarship
applications after the deadline of January 15, but we have no guaranteed
hotel rooms after January 29.
Please do not delay.
What is the dress code?
Typically at computer science conferences people dress casual.
You do not need to dress like you would do for a job interview,
but you need to be neat, and avoid too tight or too baggy clothing.
Enjoy being with many other women!
