Call for Participation

We cordially invite you to attend the third Computing Women Congress (CWC) being held at the University of Waikato, Hamilton, from 11th to 13th February 2008. You will have the opportunity to meet, discuss and debate with other women in the your field while attending some of our more than 15 excellent courses during three days. Interesting keynotes by IT professionals from industry and accademia are open to all women.

If you haven't already booked your place, it is not too late to join in - and why not bring along a friend too?

This year we are offering travel scholarships for students in New Zealand. More information can be found here.

The Computing Women Congress is a conference for women who study or work in Information Technology and related fields. CWC provides an open, explorative learning and teaching environment, with an emphasis on hands-on experience. Presentations and workshops will cover a wide range of topics in computer science and IT, such as Web Technologies, Software Development, Research and Career Skills, and Interdisciplinary Topics.

A lively social schedule will provide opportunities to expand your network with other women in IT from around New Zealand and overseas. A one-day social outing is planned for Thursday, 14th February. A list of presentations and workshops can be found here; the registration form is available here.
