We’re excited to invite submissions for the GHC 26 Academic Poster Session presented by Amazon Web Services (AWS) !

The Academic Poster Session provides an opportunity for undergraduate students, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers to showcase research, innovations, case studies, tools, and projects that advance the technology ecosystem and align with AnitaB.org’s mission.

Submissions should connect to one or more of AnitaB.org’s four pillars:

  • TRAIN – Developing technical skills and expertise
  • FUND – Enabling innovation and entrepreneurship
  • HIRE – Expanding career opportunities in technology
  • ADVANCE – Accelerating leadership and impact

One of the exciting aspects of this year’s poster session is the breadth of topics these pillars encompass. We welcome both hard-tech and non-technical research, including areas such as AI, cybersecurity, cloud computing, data science, and open-source technologies, as well as workforce development, entrepreneurship, hiring practices, leadership development, mentorship, organizational innovation, governance, and community-driven initiatives. If your work contributes to developing talent, creating opportunity, fostering innovation, or advancing impact in technology, we encourage you to submit.

We are especially interested in projects that leverage open resources and open knowledge, including open-source software, open educational resources, open datasets, and Industry or academic case studies
