The goal of the Tapia Conferences is to bring together undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, researchers, and professionals in computing from all backgrounds and ethnicities to:
•Celebrate the diversity that exists in computing;
•Connect with others with common backgrounds, ethnicities, disabilities, and gender so as to create communities that extend beyond the conference;
•Obtain advice from and make contacts with computing leaders in academia and industry;
•Be inspired by great presentations and conversations with leaders with common backgrounds.
This year’s conference theme is “The Strength of Diversity” as the Tapia Conference celebrates the contributions to computing by members of broad and diverse communities.
