My second day at the conference was just as exciting–though far less intimidating–than the first. After going to several panels, I attended the Speed Mentoring event, where I had the chance to meet computer scientists already working in the industry. From them I got an insider’s glimpse into the world of computer science, which was–according to the mentors I met–a place where one could find encouragement and support. It was inspiring to meet women who were already working in the industry, especially since many of them were leaders in the workplaces.
