I got lucky, and get to attend back-to-back conferences this year.  I’m pretty excited about both.

The first is the Grace Hopper Celebration of Women in Computing, which I just heard has sold out.  3600 of my fellow women in technology will be there.  I’ll be speaking on a panel about how to influence without authority.  I’ll also be working in the VMware booth for recruitment purposes, so if you’re interested in jobs at VMware, come by our booth and I’ll be happy to tell you more about what it’s like to work here.

Then I leave Baltimore and head to Cambridge for UIST 2012.  I’ve been wanting to go for years and years, but it always either conflicted with or was too close to OOPSLA for me to be able to attend.  So I’m totally geeked to be able to attend this year.  I’m just attending UIST, which is a nice change.

If you’re going to be at either of those, feel free to ping me via twitter so that we can meet up for coffee or cocktails.
