INCLUSION DRIVES INNOVATION

Since 2001, the ACM Richard Tapia Celebration of Diversity in Computing Conference has been the premier venue to acknowledge, promote and

celebrate diversity in computing. The Tapia conference brings 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 to create communities that extend beyond the conference;

• Obtain advice from and make contact with computing leaders in academia and industry;

• Learn about new technologies and career opportunities;

• Be inspired by great presentations and conversations with leaders with common backgrounds.

Inclusion Drives InnovationThe 2020 Tapia conference theme reminds us of the critical role that diverse perspectives play in driving innovations in computing and technology. Creating teams, organizations, and societies that are inclusive and respectful of differences leads to greater innovations that benefit the world.
