Bonita Sharif, Ph.D.
Associate Professor, University of Nebraska–LincolnAbstract
Come and learn about the Grace Hopper Conference Celebration held every year since 1994 organized by the Anita Borg Institute. The celebration offers something for everyone (women and allies). In 2019, a record 26,000 people attended GHC in Orlando and the number continues to increase every year. In 2020, the conference goes virtual but still offers a ton of resources across the gamut from how to implement your startup idea to brain inspired computing for the edge. This talk will cover the resources available at GHC and possible ways you can be part of the community by attending, volunteering, and participating in events.
