The poster contests are open to women and non-binary students studying computing (BSc, BA, BEng, MSc, MComp or MEng) in the UK. In 2026 we were delighted to accept 208 poster presenters. For student presenters the event is free and we try to manage accommodation and also cover travel costs via travel bursaries and support from host Universities.<\/p>\n<p>We had a limited number of tickets for students who didn&#8217;t present posters, and also for non-student attendees &#8211; these went on sale after we allocated places to the poster contest finalists.<\/p>\n<h2>Further information<\/h2>\n<p>We have a frequently asked questions list here: <a href=\"https:\/\/bcswomenlovelace.bcs.org\/?page_id=99\">FAQ<\/a>.
