Grace Hopper Celebration 2026 canceled over funding and low registration

Paige Bailey, a Google engineer, says on X that the 2026 Grace Hopper Celebration has been canceled, abruptly, because of funding constraints and fewer registrations.

She says the conference helped many young women in computer science and software engineering get their first jobs and internships, and asks whether someone would host a virtual alternative.

The post is the only report so far. It does not name an organizer statement or give registration or funding figures.
