The main activity of SIG 9.1.1 has been the organising of International Working Conferences. They are designed to include researchers and practitioners and to stimulate multi-disciplinary approaches. So far there have been seven conferences which took place in different countries: in Italy (1984), Ireland (1986), Netherlands (1988), Finland (1991), United Kingdom (1994), Germany (1997) and in Canada (2000).

The 7th International IFIP Conference on Women, Work and Computerization "Charting a Course to the Future" (WWC 2000) took place in Vancouver (Canada) on June 8-11th, 2000.
