vGHC 20 Women of Color in Technology Complimentary Registration

Applications are now closed.

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 Virtual GHC Women of Color in Tech Complimentary Registration Initiative, providing women of color who are under-tapped in the tech industry an opportunity to attend Virtual Grace Hopper Celebration (vGHC), build their networks, and gain knowledge and resources. Please read the eligibility criteria carefully as we will not be able to make exceptions.

Be sure to also check out our Frequently Asked Questions below.
