Are you attending or thinking about joining the largest gathering of women technologists at the Grace Hopper Celebration in Houston later this month? Cisco is proud to be 1 of 10, diamond sponsors of this 3-day conference, where they will be expecting 15,000 attendees. The buzz is ever growing and once again we are planning to descend into Houston and make a bigger splash at GHC. Last year, our Cisco booth was not only featured in the Houston Chronicle with the caption that read, “A call to be confident”, but attendees could not get enough of the infectious energy and excitement at our booth. On the behalf of our executive sponsors, SVP/GM CSPG, Liz Centoni & VP of Eng HR, Christine Bastian, we are once again challenging attendees to truly Embrace their Power and #BeLegendary. In our upcoming #CiscoChat, we’ll be sharing tips and details of the conference so you can plan to get the most out of your GHC experience. Not attending the conference? Join us anyway! We’ll be offering up our insights into
and advice on technology careers for women. You won’t want to miss out on this special hour-long #CiscoChat on Tuesday, October 11 at 10am PT.
