Facebook started a conference last year called the Out for Undergraduate
Technology Conference dealing with LGBTQ peoples and the tech industry. The
goal of the conference is to bring attention to applications for LGBTQ friendly tech
internships, build a community of LGBTQ students in the tech industry, and communicate
how to come out in a resume/job interview.
The conference is happening again this year on February 2nd
and 3rd and Facebook is making travel & lodging scholarships
available. Registering for the conference along with sending the application
for the conference in is 50 dollars, the 50 dollars is refundable if they do
not accept you to the conference and the bill goes to the billing address “Business
conference” if there is a concern in the representation of where this 50
dollars is going. The conference organizers are looking for a larger
representation of Pacific Northwest students (according to an email) and have
accepted engineering students and even English majors, as long as a
communication of how what you are doing relates to technology is in the conference's
application.
Application is very short and is due December 30th
2012. Find the application here:
