That's wrong: attending to conferences does not make a huge difference in the process of becoming a good programmer. Much better to use the same money to sponsor a primary school program to make kids understand computers and programming for instance.

That's probably why it's called "Women in Tech Conference and Travel Grants", and not "Women in Tech Become Better Programmers Grants". I do see a point here. Going to conferences hasn't made me a better programmer per se, but I think it has made me more passionate about the field, in my early days.
