I’m going to be speaking at the Grace Hopper Conference 2025!
I’ll be speaking at the Grace Hopper Conference 2025! This is an incredible opportunity that I’m genuinely excited about.
The Grace Hopper Celebration (GHC) is the world’s largest gathering of women technologists, organized by AnitaB.org. It’s a conference focused on the research and career interests of women in computing, highlighting their contributions to the tech industry. The event aims to connect, inspire, and advance women in technology by providing a platform for networking, learning, and career development.
This year, the theme is Unbound, a transcendent experience where ambition is limitless. It’s a call to break barriers, defy limits, and reimagine what’s possible for women in tech. Whether you’re leading innovation, launching your career, or redefining your path, GHC 25 is where bold ideas and boundless ambition meet.
I’m deeply grateful to the GHC community for continuing to create these essential spaces for women technologists. These gatherings foster connection, mentorship, and collaboration that ripple far beyond the conference itself.
My talk will be a technical workshop in the Data, Cloud & AI space.
I’ll be updating this post with more details about my talk once it’s officially published on the conference website. Stay tuned for specifics about the topic, session time, and location.
If you are interested in applying to speak at the Grace Hopper Conference, I have written an article about my experience speaking at the 2023 conference— https://medium.com/womenintechnology/my-grace-hopper-conference-ghc-speaker-experience-6d5836f66b7b
If you are planning to submit a CFP next year, my best advice would be to submit on a topic that resonates with you, and that you are passionate about.
I have conviction that the impact of the talk will help women in advancing their careers and one reason why I submitted it was because I believe my time spent on learning and working with that technical stack would provide additional value for the GHC audience. I would recommend you to commit to learning a new topic on a consistent basis, letting your curiosity be a guide for diving deep to maximize your understanding of what resonates the most with you.
For me, the topic that I’ll be presenting was one of the catalysts for my career today. In my second internship, I used this tool- spent countless nights debugging, troubleshooting and developing scripts + programs that developed my technical understanding and competency as a developer and builder.
