Conference Volunteer — ACM NYCWiC 2026

Society Ethics Tech / ACM NYCWiC 2026

The ACM New York Celebration of Women in Computing (NYCWiC) is a regional conference dedicated to empowering women and their allies in computing through networking, learning, and celebrating contributions to the field. The JOPRO community has been a participant and supporter of NYCWiC since 2019.
