What is InWIC?

The goal of the Indiana Women in Computing (InWIC) conference is to provide a low cost, regionally-tailored, small conference for women in computing who do not have funding to attend major conferences.

What will happen at InWIC?

  • InWIC will begin late on Friday afternoon. Dinner on Friday is provided, as are accommodations at the Canyon Inn. InWIC will continue through lunch on Saturday.
  • Keynote speaker: Lisa Kaczmarczyk, Assistant Professor of Computer Science and Software Engineering at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology.
  • Talks on cutting-edge technical issues and on social issues of relevance to undergraduate and graduate women in computing will be presented.
  • Creative social opportunities to meet faculty members, students, and area industry leaders.

Who can attend InWIC?

The conference will bring together people from industry and Indiana academic institutions. High school students are invited to attend the Saturday activities. Our previous CICWIC conference brought together women from Butler University, DePauw University, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, Indiana University, Purdue University, and Indiana State University.
