【 摘 要 】

In 1992 the first Australian Women in Information Technology (AusWIT) conference took place inLaunceston Tasmania with the theme ‘Women in Computing – Keeping the Doors Open’. AusWITformed with the mission of informing, sharing, community building, and re-energising thoseinvolved in the recruitment and retention of women in information technology. Since then theconference has successfully run every two to three years in different states across Australia. As theconference has grown it has attracted women from Europe and elsewhere reflecting the ongoingneed for such dialogue to continue.
