What are Hoppers?
Hoppers are volunteers who work at the Grace Hopper Celebration in exchange for free conference registration. This is a great way to get involved and meet other GHC attendees.
Hoppers are assigned multiple shifts for a total of 8 hours of volunteer time. Hoppers may have to miss a session or activity at the conference if they are assigned to work.
Hoppers are responsible for their own travel expenses, including airfare and hotel. Do not apply to be a Hopper unless you have secured funding for your travel expenses.
Assignments include monitoring sessions, staffing registration, greeting attendees, selling shirts and posters, and more. Shifts are available between November 8 – 12.
All accepted Hoppers must attend the mandatory training meeting on Wednesday, November 9th from 7:00 a.m. – 8:30 a.m..
If you apply for a Hopper position, please do not register for the conference until you have been notified of your acceptance. If you are not accepted, you will still be able to register for the conference at the Super Early Bird rates.
Please contact Rachelle Siskin with any questions. Register to be a Hopper.
The Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing is a series of conferences designed to bring the research and career interests of women in computing to the forefront. Presenters are leaders in their respective fields, representing industrial, academic and government communities. Leading researchers present their current work, while special sessions focus on the role of women in today’s technology fields, including computer science, information technology, research and engineering.
Past Grace Hopper Celebrations have resulted in collaborative proposals, networking, mentoring, and increased visibility for the contributions of women in computing.
