Have you ever considered attending the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing? The Celebration is a gathering of 8000+ technical women from around the world with everything from technical talks to mentoring to two dance parties. It is an amazing experience that every woman in computer science should have at some point in her career.
The Celebration is being held in Texas this year, October 14-16. If you think you'd like to attend, you are very strongly encouraged to apply for a scholarship to help fund your travel expenses. The deadline to apply is April 15 2015. You can find more information here:
