GHC 22 Advancing Inclusion Complimentary Registration
GHC 22 Advancing Inclusion Complimentary Registration
At AnitaB.org, we are always looking for ways to increase diversity in tech and to support those who are under-tapped in the tech industry.
That is why we created the GHC Advancing Inclusion Complimentary Registration Initiative, providing historically overlooked women and non-binary individuals who are under-tapped in the tech industry an opportunity to attend Grace Hopper Celebration (GHC), build their networks, and gain knowledge and resources.
Please read the eligibility criteria carefully as we will not be able to make exceptions.

Note: If you receive a complimentary registration and do not notify AnitaB.org that you cannot attend the Celebration, you will not be eligible in future years as this takes an opportunity away from another individual that could have attended.

We will contact you if these laws and regulations affect your complimentary registration/grant or if we require more information to make such a determination.
