BALTIMORE—Hewlett-Packard Company has confirmed to participate in this year’s Women of Color magazine’s 18^th Annual Women of Color Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Conference which is scheduled to take place October 17-19 at the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, Texas.

The 2013 Women of Color STEM conference is a multicultural event for women in scientific and technical careers. The conference features several key speakers who will address the underrepresentation of women in these disciplines. The conference will also host training seminars that will highlight important topics such as leadership and professional skills, diversity and inclusion, technical leadership and innovation and career outlook.

"HP’s participation at the Women of Color STEM Conference will be greatly appreciated and beneficial," says Career Communications Group's chairman and CEO, Dr. Tyrone D. Taborn. "It is always an honor to have the support of other outstanding companies such as Hewlett-Packard."

Considering that women are less likely to be employed in STEM fields than men, the Women of Color STEM Conference creates an informal, trusted community that provides support specifically to women professionals and students who seek encouragement and guidance as they prepare to enter into their professions. In addition to providing support, this conference offers a unique opportunity to increase recruitment, retention, professional development and employee recognition capabilities.
