Celebrating women in technology: Google at Grace Hopper 2011
December 12, 2011
Google was a proud platinum sponsor of the
2011 Grace Hopper Celebration for Women in Computing
, which was held in Portand, Oregon from November 9th through the 12th. At Grace Hopper, women from various fields in technology got together to attend conference sessions relevant to their research and career interests, network, and discuss the role of women in technology.
Over 80 Googlers attended the conference, many of whom led or participated in panels or sessions on topics such as
What If... There Were More Women in Technology? The Business Case for Diversity
,
Returning to Work after Maternity Leave: Can You Have the Best of Both Worlds?
, and
Technology for Non Profits and Start Ups: How to Identify Tools and Teach Enterprises How to Leverage the Web
. Googlers also participated in K-12 networking sessions and hosted a project in the conference’s Open Source Codeathon for Humanity, fixing known issues for
Google Person Finder
.
A few other highlights:
