Go Get IT

Introduction

Go Get IT

Now in its seventh year, the highly popular Girls Get IT conference has been relaunched as Go Get IT (GGIT), actively encouraging ALL junior high and high school students to explore educational and career opportunities in Information Technology (IT).

GGIT provides students with fun, interactive and engaging programming surrounding the countless possibilities available to them in the field of IT. Networking with professionals from the field, exploring cutting edge technologies, learning about educational and professional pathways are also an integral part of the day’s event. Students discover the impact they can have in cybersecurity, AI, software development, gaming, animation, web design and so much more.

More information about 2025-2026 events will be coming soon; in the meantime, here are some updates:
