Everybody Rock Your Equity : Experiences of Organizing a Women in Computing Event with Role Models for Diversity and Inclusion

• This paper describes the experiences of organizing an event to celebrate women in computing in Spain. We present how the idea of the event was conceived and what the aims with its organization are from its conception, including providing a network and role models for the participants based on role model theory. We then explain how these aims have been implemented for each of the four editions of the event, and we include data for them. Finally, we compile recommendations for readers interested in launching an event of these characteristics and we reflect on the work to be done in the future.
