        Come and join us for the second Carolinas Women in Computing conference to be held in South Carolina's capital city, Columbia, SC, February 17-18, 2012. Modeled after the International Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing conference, CWIC is a low-cost, regional conference providing similar professional and social support, but closer to home!

        What is CWIC

        The goal of CWIC (pronounced see- wik) is to encourage the participation of women in computing by providing professional and social support. The conference will feature talks and panels by highly successful technical women. Undergraduate and graduate students are invited to participate through poster presentations, lightning talks or birds-of-feather sessions and will have opportunities to network with successful technical women from academia, government, and industry, and their fellow students. A career fair will conclude the conference.

        Who should attend CWIC?

        The conference will bring together people from industry and from South Carolina and North Carolina academic institutions. The program will be of interest to both undergraduate and graduate students and faculty. Similar regional Celebration of Women in Computing are attended by both small private colleges and large public Universities.
