There are new conferences emerging that are focused on growing the number of women in tech but the oldest and largest conference began in 1994 established by the non-profit organization AnitaB.org: Grace Hopper Celebration — and this flagship conference returns September 27 and runs until October 1.
The conference theme for 2021 is #DareTo with the goal to empower women and minority technologists, such as LGBTQ. The 2021 Abie Awards will celebrate five distinguished women chosen for their achievements.
The AnitaB.org organization has more than 22,000 members. The conference remembers the legacy of Admiral Grace Murray Hopper — co-creator of the first software compiler and one of the first “women in tech”.
