Google @ GHC

Grace Hopper Conference 2007 was a great success, and Google had a great presence at the conference. There were almost 50 Googlers at the conference and more than 60 scholarship winners sponsored by Google. I actually met a couple of students flown in all the way from India to Florida to attend the conference. Wherever you go, you could see women dressed in their Google t-shirts. Lot of women from other companies remarked that there were lot of Googlers at the conference, and were surprised to hear that there was no selection process to attend the conference, anyone who wanted to attend could. The Google booth was crowded as usual, recruiters and engineers equally busy taking resumes, talking to potential candidates. On the last day the lines for getting Google t-shirts were really long, and we had t-shirts for everyone. The Google blinky pin was equally popular too.
... more details coming soon!
