Six TechWomen Mentees from the 2011 cohort traveled to Portland, Oregon this fall for the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, a program of the Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology.

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.
