CompEd is proud to be co-locating with two pre-conference events.
1. ACM-W Workshop: Building an ACM-W East Asia Community
Dates/Times: Wednesday, May 15th, 1:00pm-4:30pm and Thursday, May 16th, 8:30am-11:30am
Cost: Free
Capacity: 40
Location: Narcissus
Workshop Convener: Catherine Lang
ACM-W is a community within ACM whose mission is to support, celebrate, and advocate internationally for the full engagement of women in all aspects of the computing field. ACM-W realizes this mission by providing a wide range of programs and services to ACM members and working in the larger community to advance the contributions of technical women. The purpose of this interactive workshop is to familiarize attendees with the activities of ACM-W and to promote increased program activity in the countries of East Asia. The presenters will provide examples of successful efforts in regions such as Europe, Australia, and North America. The objective of the two workshops are to establish a development plan and a core group of participants willing to work together to start similar programs as the foundation members of ACM-W East Asia.

2. The Computing Curricula 2020 (CC2020) Project – Steering Committee Meeting
Dates/Times: Tuesday, May 14th, 9:00am-4:30pm, Wednesday May 15th 9:00am-4:30pm, and Thursday, May 16th, 8:30am-11:30am
Venue: Cynn Hotel
Co-Chair: Alison Clear
Computing Curricula 2020 (CC2020) is a joint project launched by professional computing societies to examine the current state of curricular guidelines for academic programs granting degrees in computing and to provide a vision for the future of computing. The goal of the initiative is to produce a comprehensive report that compares and contrasts these guidelines to situate and contextualize them in the landscape of computing education. Ultimately, the project strives to help programs to prepare graduates both academically and professionally to meet the challenges in the 2020s. The international project team represents organizations from academia, industry, and government.
