Information
The WHPC community is an international network of women, allies, and supporters working to advance diversity, inclusion, and belonging within the global HPC community.
Designed for WHPC members, allies, and curious newcomers, this session offers a welcoming environment to join the WHPC community, meet friendly faces, and connect with others.
Attendees will meet WHPC Chapter & Affiliate representatives to discover initiatives and activities happening in local communities around the world, before the session shifts into a fun, informal, and interactive networking opportunity. Through rotating pairs and small-group discussions, participants will explore technical themes — including current work, challenges, and ideas — alongside broader topics such as community, wellbeing, and inclusion. Prompt-led discussions will help guide conversations, making it easy to engage at any pace while connecting on topics that matter.
By creating space for open and inclusive networking, WHPC helps transform large conferences into opportunities for finding your people in HPC. At its heart, this session aims to create an experience where attendees leave with more than just contacts - they leave with a sense of belonging, having found their people in HPC.
