Sunday 12 November 2017, 9:00 am – 5:30 pm MTZ
Colorado Convention Centre, Denver, Colorado, USA

Women in HPC will once again attend the Supercomputing conference to discuss diversity and inclusivity topics. Activities  will bring together women from across the international HPC community, provide opportunities to network, showcase the work of inspiring women, and discuss how we can all work towards improving the under-representation of women in supercomputing.

The 7th International Women in High Performance Computing (WHPC) workshop at SC17 in Denver brings  together the HPC community to discuss the growing importance of increasing diversity in the workplace. This workshop will recognize and discuss the challenges of improving the proportion of women in the HPC community, and is relevant for employers and employees throughout the supercomputing workforce who are interested in addressing diversity. 

Sessions include:

• Improving Diversity in the Workplace: What methods have been put in place and tested to improve workplace diversity and inclusion?
• Career Development and Mentoring: Skills to thrive; sharing your experiences and advice on how to succeed in the workplace.
