The goal of this workshop is to bring together professional women in Computing from research students and academic researchers, to women ;working in commerce, public organisations and industry to celebrate their success and to enhance and develop their careers. There will be a 'Famous WWWomen' session where well known WWW Women recount their careers and give expert advice. The workshop will be followed in the evening with a reception/party organised jointly with Kendra:
http://www.kendra.org.uk/ including a CeilidhFollowing on from the success of the PhD poster session held in February 2006 at the London Hopper event, we have decided to hold another poster session at this workshop. However, we have decided to throw it open to all women from undergraduates to those with established careers. Basically, this is a chance to put your current work, or something you have an interest in developing on a poster, which will facilitate discussion of the topic. I ask that those of you who do wish to display a poster, to email a copy as a .pdf, .ppt or .pub; or email an outline of said poster to
women.www2006@googlemail.com by the 15th of May. Just so that we can check posters are indeed on subject, and that a reasonable balance of ideas is shown.
A prize will be given to both the student with the best poster, and the best poster from industry. This prize has been kindly sponsored by Google and Knowledge Web.
There is financial support available for students to attend this workshop. More details of this are available by emailing women.www2006@googlemail.com
