A few of us attended Ohio Celebration of Women in Computing which took place in Ashland County, in Mohican Resort and Conference Center. As the organizers put it,
OCWIC (say Oh, Quick!) is a low cost, regionally-tailored, professional conference, modeled after the international Grace Hopper Celebration. The goal of the conference is to provide social and professional support for women in computing.
We attended a lot of lightning talks, career panels, paper presentations, and learned, learned, learned. But we also enjoyed ourselves. We came back to Detroit reinvigorated, with
a reignited passion for anything and everything that is computing related - and this says a lot, given the middle of quite a winter we've had in Michigan this season.
Thank you, our Ohio neighbors for welcoming us with open arms and for creating this opportunity (and for all the cool goodies, too :)
