The first Kentucky Women in Computing Conference (KYWIC 2010) is now history! I’m so happy that so many of you were a part of it – the FIRST regional celebration for Kentucky, Tennessee, Southeast Missouri & Southern Illinois. We at Murray State University are still in the clouds with excitement over the experience we had.

The mix of professionals from industry, faculty, graduate and undergraduate women from fifteen different universities and high school students made for a wonderful collage of conversations, fellowship and new ideas. The dynamic speakers and panelists, poster and lightning talk presenters, BOF leaders (birds-of-a-feather), helpers and supporters made this event a success. The food was great… the geek jewelry was a hit…but most of all the new friendships forged and supportive communications were indescribable! Thanks to everyone who participated or who supported from afar!
