Review for Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology, Palo Alto, CA, USA
Coming from Africa,an exposure to other women from across the world doing computing was a great moral boaster. Women in computing make up less than 15% of the total computing world, in Africa, that percentage is almost halfed, so meeting women who inspire you to keep at it was i needed to swing me right back into the narrow and straight path of computing. Since the conference i have learnt a lot from numerous women through the various online tools that ABI has provided in addition to the ABI newsletter KUDOs ABI and the ABI team!

Great suggestions! Although we don't have immediate plans for an event in Africa, we have started working with partners to create events, with GHC as a model, around the U.S. and in other parts of the world. Stay tuned!
