Celebrate Diversity Day with Women in HPC at SC'24

November 19, 2024

Women in HPC (WHPC) is proud to continue driving greater Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (EDIA) within our community. Join us in celebrating Diversity Day on Tuesday, November 19th at the SC’24 conference, where we’ll come together to highlight the progress we’ve made and the work that lies ahead.

Get Your WHPC Swag

We’re thrilled to offer a variety of WHPC branded items in advance of Diversity Day! Show your support with shirts, snoods, stickers, lanyards, and more. Here’s where you can grab yours:

  • November 18th – SC24 Workshop: Stickers, lanyards, and snoods will be available during the workshop, so make sure you stop by!
  • November 18th – Exhibitor Gala: Join us at the Exhibitor Gala, starting at 6:30 pm, for the unveiling of our exclusive Diversity Day shirts. Stickers, lanyards, and snoods will be available here.

How to Celebrate on Diversity Day

On November 19th, we encourage you to wear your WHPC swag, whether it’s from this year or previous years, or simply show your support for diversity in your own unique way. Together, we can raise visibility for women and underrepresented minorities in the HPC community.

WHPC Networking Reception

To close out Diversity Day, we’ll be hosting a WHPC Networking Reception in the evening. Space is limited, and while tickets (wristbands) are free, be sure to check our event page for more details and to secure your spot.
