The ACM New York Celebration of Women in Computing (NYCWiC) will be held April 2-3, 2027, at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Poughkeepsie, New York. NYCWiC is an annual conference that promotes the academic, professional, and social growth of technical women in New York State. It is aimed at undergraduate and graduate students in technical fields, and for many attendees it is their first conference. NYCWiC 2026 was held in Albany and drew more than 170 students, 25 faculty, and 20 industry representatives.

JOPRO and the Orthogonal Research and Education Lab have taken part in NYCWiC for several years, most recently with the Navigating Innovation Spaces panel at NYCWiC 2025 and a Society, Ethics, and Technology session in 2023.
