Co-presented by the Anita Borg Institute and ACM, the conference features more than 100 sessions in more than eight tracks, as well as invited technical speakers, panels, workshops, robotics workshops, new investigator technical papers, Ph.D. forums, technical posters, birds-of-a-feather sessions, the ACM Student Research Competitions, and awards.
