The Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing will be held October 17-20, 2007 in Orlando, Florida. This year's theme is "I Invent the Future". This is an opportunity for leading female researchers to present their current work, with special sessions focusing on the role of women in today's technology fields, including computer science, information technology, research and engineering.
While much of the focus is on higher ed, it's a great opportunity for high school seniors. An online scholarship application will soon be available. Scholarships will cover conference registration (which includes most meals), lodging, and airfare -- based on the geographic region of the applicant. The deadline for applications will be June 1, 2007; scholarship notification, August 1, 2007.
GHC 2007 will be co-located with and bridge the Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing conference .
