| Tips for Convincing Your Boss to Send You to GHC |
| |
The Grace Hopper Celebration is one of the largest gatherings of technical women in the world. Women come together to learn about the latest technology, learn new skills to enhance their careers, and build their network. Many women return year after year and leave motivated and energized to pursue their technical careers.
But if you want your boss to pay for your registration, you need to explain the bottom-line benefits-and there are plenty. We’ve compiled a handy list of the most compelling reasons to help you convince your boss that you attending the Grace Hopper Celebration will benefit not only you but your company.
1. You’ll get four days of continuing education on everything from new technologies to how to build your network to developing skills that will better equip you to do your job and become a more valuable employee.
2. Brush up on new technologies. Then take your new knowledge back to the office and hold a training session for your co-workers.
