Welcome to the ONCWIC Website
This year, the Ontario Celebration of Women in Computing (ONCWIC) will
take place on October 21/22, 2011 at the University of Toronto.
This event follows last year's highly successful 1st annual ONCWIC conference, hosted in Kingston, Ontario and organized by the Women in the School of Computing at Queen's University.
The Ontario Regional conference is modeled after the well-known Grace Hopper Celebration (GHC) held annually in the USA. The goal of ONCWIC is to provide students, faculty and professional women in Ontario opportunities for networking, sharing and mentoring, similar to those provided by the GHC. It is hoped that ONCWIC will help build the computing community within Ontario, with significant benefits to the attendees and their associated organizations.
The ONCWIC program focuses on research, academic and industry opportunities and networking. A combination of plenary presentations delivered by ICT leaders, plus interactive group discussions, poster sessions and great social events make this event a must for women involved in computing in both industry and academia.
The conference is being organized by the Women in Computing Science Group at the University of Toronto. This group serves as a networking and support group for all female undergraduate and graduate students, faculty and staff within the Department of Computer Science.
