The N^2 Women (Networking Networking Women) luncheon is an informal
gathering intended to foster a sense of community by providing an
opportunity for those interested in women's issues to meet, network,
and share stories/advice. Especially important will be the connections
made between students and researchers, which will promote the benefits
of a research career. The luncheon will be held at the Hyatt Regency
Reston on Tuesday, September 26 from 12:30-2 P.M.
The luncheon is free if the participant is registered for the SECON
main conference and $25 otherwise (i.e., only registered for a
workshop or tutorial), payable by cash, check or credit card at the
time of registration.
This luncheon is open to all who are interested in issues pertaining
to women in the field of networking. If you would like to attend,
please email Wendi Heinzelman at wheinzel@ece.rochester.edu by
September 20. We hope you will join us at SECON for this luncheon!
The first meeting of N^2 Women was held during the MobiHoc conference on May
24th, 2006 in Florence, Italy. This event was attended by
the majority of the women attendees of MobiHoc, as well as a few men
interested in issues pertaining to women in the communications and
networking fields.
We have created an email list for the N^2Women group,
N2Women@acm.org, which we use to foster connections
among women in communications and networking. If you are interested in joining this community of
networking women, or if you would like to help organize an N^2Women
get-together at a conference you will be attending, please email
N2Women-Info@acm.org. We hope you will join us at a future N^2Women
event!
