You are invited to sponsor a table for your employees, colleagues, guests, or donate a table to students. Table sponsors typically include companies, schools, individuals, and all types of organizations. If you anticipate having empty seats at your table, you can donate those seats to students. The Anita Borg Institute will fill those seats on your behalf as part of our effort to “Share the Vision” with local students. Or you can donate an entire table to students.
At the second annual Anita Borg Top Company for Technical Women Workshop, participants from leading companies will engage in discussions to share their perspectives and insights on issues and proven solutions for the recruitment, retention, and advancement of technical women at all levels. The workshop will feature best practices tied to demonstrated outcomes in increasing the representation of technical women, and in their retention and advancement. See the workshop agenda (coming soon).
