GraceHopper Conference, 2013 gave an opportunity to listen and network with all sections of the "computing" community. It helped in connecting us, inspired and guided us in terms of career in computing organisations. We met successful women in technology, discovered new techniques, found sources of inspiration and opportunities for collaboration.
We had a keynote speaker who really motivated us how to look at the "big picture", how to deal with small setbacks or how failure doesn't matter when we see ten or twenty years down the line. Along with the technical sections like big data, hacking, workshop on raspberry pi etc, we also had various sessions on leadership, emotional competence for stress management and others. Team leaders from various panel solved our Q&A and told us how their own companies and organisations help you and shape your career.
In the exhibition hall, I would like to start with Microsoft stall. It was a super-duper stall. With all props and snapshot, we had so many people excited around. it gathered lot of appraisals. People participated in playing a game on xbox and received goodies too. They tried hands on windows tablet and cool laptops having windows 8.1. We went around visiting other stalls of different organisations in software industry, participating in quizzes, solving puzzles and collecting goodies.All in all, it was a good networking and opportunity to meet people and talk to them.
