I think we can safely assume that all the major sponsors from 2025 pulled out. Any one of them could have carried the whole thing.

So they sponsored last year, now you are asking them to pay 50x more?

And if thay paid the whole thing this year, and pulled out next year, th÷pe PR would be 50x worse. Single company cancelled this event in 2027!

Seems like smart move to get out fast!

You clearly do not work in Tech. Grace Hopper has been around for decades, and companies have understood how important it is for furthering their industries.

This is absolutely the US Gov to blame for its DEI attacks and threats.

> mportant it is for furthering their industries

This was true 10 years ago, today not so much. After several years of cultural revolution, recent crimes, discrimination lawsuits, the entire "women in tech" subject is toxic.

Now it is in implosion phase, where activists will start eating their own (just see the hit list OP published).

Another problem is AI. Common coders will become obsolete (together with "women in tech"). There is no push for more "women in plumbing jobs". Pushing young people into tech (presumably with expensive student loans) is just cruel. Women are not stupid!
