News from ACM-W Celebrations

ACM Celebrations gather women that work or study within the same region together to connect, network and celebrate their mutual interests of Computer Science and technology. Celebrations typical include keynote speakers from academia or industry, panel sessions on topics such as what to expect in your CS career or the impostor syndrome, workshops on resume writing, communication, interview skills or new technologies, a career fair and opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students to present their work. Celebrations are organized by volunteers and most agree that organizing a Celebration is one of the most rewarding things that they have done. ACM will provide some seed funding along with support from Microsoft. We also can provide web-site hosting, handle your finances and provide plenty of advice and assistance on organizing a Celebration. Celebrations happen worldwide!  If you are interested in organizing, contact us to discuss!
