PRESENTS
for ABI.Local Communities
2 | TITLE OF DECK | February 24, 2015
WELCOME TO THE ABI.LOCAL COMMUNITY
Building on the excitement and energy that is loved by tens of thousands of women and men who’ve attended the Anita Borg Institute’s annual Grace Hopper Celebrations in the United States and India, ABI.Local is a smaller gathering and offers the intimacy of a locally created community focused on technology innovation.
At the Anita Borg Institute, we envision a future where the people who imagine and build technology mirror the people and societies who use it. Why include everyone? It’s simple: innovation.
ABI.Local supports a local community of technical women in their quest to inspire and be inspired, bringing programs to the community like the GHC Viewing Party. You have the chance to hear from leading industry experts at GHC, network together and plug into your community of women in computing. I encourage you to take advantage of these opportunities.
ABI.Local would not be possible without the support of the community volunteers who worked to create this event. On behalf of the Anita Borg Institute, we thank each of you.
Enjoy, Connect, and Learn.
Telle Whitney, PhDCEO and President, Anita Borg Institute

THANK YOU
“...You can't do it all by yourself. So seek out other women in places like this. Seek out like-minded souls to talk to when you're in the middle of a struggle. And mentor others.”
