Grace Hopper Celebration Cancelled

The Grace Hopper Celebration, a conference for women in tech, has been cancelled due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The conference, which was set to take place in Orlando, Florida, has been a major event in the tech industry, featuring keynote speakers and panels with top female tech leaders. The conference has been postponed to 2023, with a new date to be announced. The organizers, AnitaB.org, cited the ongoing pandemic and growing concerns about the safety of attendees as the reason for the cancellation. The conference has been held annually since 1994 and has become a major platform for women in tech to connect, learn, and advance their careers. The cancellation is a significant blow to the tech community, particularly for women and underrepresented groups who rely on the event as a key opportunity for networking and professional development.
