Google at Grace Hopper 2014
September 29th, 2014 | Published in Google Student Blog
Google is excited to announce their presence at the upcoming Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, sponsored by the Anita Borg Institute in Phoenix, Arizona on October 8-10, 2014. Google has been attending the Grace Hopper Celebration (GHC) for over a decade, and we are proud to show our long-standing dedication to this conference by partnering at the highest level as a Visionary Platinum Sponsor. Google has been working with the Anita Borg Institute (ABI) since 2004, and Alan Eustace, Senior Vice President, Knowledge joined the ABI board in 2006 and continues to sit on the ABI Board of Trustees. Google has been recognized as an official ABI partner since 2006.
GHC is the largest gathering of women in tech and their allies, and we plan on showing our support by bringing 450 Googlers in various capacities. Our participants include engineers, who will be leading panels and talks, and People Operations experts who will be answering questions about available roles and processes.
In addition to the events taking place and a constant presence at the career fair, we will also be holding a series of events each evening, including receptions celebrating Black and Latina women in technical roles.
We look forward to celebrating with everyone attending Grace Hopper in Phoenix next week. Please stop by booth 716 to check out the Google self-driving car, test out Cardboard and speak with Googlers who are excited to meet you!
