This annual one-day event is open to all undergraduate AND taught postgraduate women in computing and related disciplines across the UK, and beyond. The day comprises a poster competition for students, speakers from industry and academia, and concludes with a social event.

The event is named after Ada Lovelace (pictured right), a computing pioneer and often considered to be the first programmer.

Previously hosted to great success in the University of Leeds, in 2010 it was hosted by the School of Computer Science & Informatics, Cardiff University.
