Until you've ...GHC is an experience like no other. Until you've been there, it is impossible to understand the magic.<BR/><BR/>You get to be a technologist and a woman at the same time!!<BR/><BR/>I have found very few occations in my professional life when that has been the case. I either wear the engineer hat, or the I'm a woman hat. Even in most women in technology groups, I've there as a woman.<BR/><BR/>I went to the very first GHC in 1994 just as I was finishing my PhD. It was a great time to go and see other women that were really successful and totally excited about the technology they worked on. It was so different from the other technical conferences I'd been to, where the men were trying to look/act really important.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on your paper being accepted!!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16995419917090919067noreply@blogger.com
