First Time @ the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing

I have been meaning to attend the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing Conference since 2009. In 2012 I had an opportunity to attend and my first impression was "wow" - 3,600 attendees and majority of them being women!

A number of thoughts crossed my mind:

1. So many African women in technology would benefit from this experience 
2. How can we as Africans learn from this in terms of: 
• Event organisation; 
• African GHC 
• Chapter Opportunities for mentorship and sponsorship 

I hope more Afrian women will make it to GHC 2013 October 2 - 5, 2013 at the Minneapolis Convention Center in Minnesota.
