Maysville Community and Technical College is proud to host this year’s Kentucky Community College Women in Computing Conference (KYCCWIC), which connects technical women working or studying in Kentucky.
KYCCWIC, the world’s largest technical conference for women in computing, is produced annually by the Anita Borg Institute and presented in partnership with the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM).
This year’s conference, open to anyone – not just women, will provide the opportunity to learn from industry leaders while preparing attendees for a career in various technical fields. The 2025 conference will focus on artificial intelligence (AI), computer security, computer programming, data analytics, technology trends and employment.
The 2025 theme, HERizon: Embarking on Careers in Technology, was chosen to empower and inspire women in pursuing careers in the technological field, a rapidly evolving domain with great potential. Women can explore various career paths, gain insights from accomplished professionals and build a strong network of like-minded individuals.
The term “HERizon” symbolizes the limitless possibilities that await women in the tech industry, highlighting the importance of breaking barriers, shattering stereotypes and embracing various perspectives and talents that women bring to the field.
"The Women in Computing Conference at MCTC is a place for learning, connection and inspiration in technology,” remarked Sharon Staviski, division chair of business and related technologies at MCTC. “Open to all, this event brings together minds from all backgrounds to share knowledge, spark ideas and advance the future of computing. Please join us for this remarkable event!"
