link: LAtiNiTY
Scholarship Applications Deadline: August 1, 2015
Date: November 9-10, 2015
Location: Santiago, Chile

LAtINiTY is a two-day conference, where participants will have the opportunity to listen to women leaders from the region and discuss gender issues in computing and technology. This is the first time an event of this nature (and size) is being hosted in Latin America. As such, it is a unique opportunity to have access to STEM (Science Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) students, researchers, professors and professionals.
This event is sponsored, among others, by Anita Borg Institute, organizer of Grace Hopper and other regional events Worldwide.

The presentations are going to be organized in three tracks:
* Academic track – talks about a full spectrum of research topics, from core computer science to applications
* Industry track – sessions about technical work in industry, where speakers present novel projects or technologies that they have helped develop
* Society track – presentation of studies about the situation of women in the area, and showcase of work done during the past year to promote the participation of women in computing in Latin America

In parallel, the event will be running two competitions:
* Entrepreneurship track, where participants will get the opportunity to springboard application ideas, which will be judged by collaborators from our industrial sponsors.
* Hackathon, where students can team up to work on mocking up tech solutions to problems that affect Latin American women.

This event, organized by the Department of Computer Science of Universidad de Chile, the School of Computing Engineering of Universidad Mayor and Latinas in Computing, is going to be held on November 9 and 10, 2015 in Santiago de Chile.
