Women in Games has set the theme for its upcoming annual conference: Disruption.
“Asking direct questions to look forward and build a better, progressive future for women in games and esports around the world”, the online conference will take place on 10th October, 2023. Tickets cost £30.
“From questions based on original research about representation such as ‘What’s going wrong with women’s dialogue in video games?’, to questions from returning innovators about pay such as ‘Salary Transparency: Breaking the Game or Path to Success?’, the Women in Games Annual Global Conference will offer abundant challenges to the prevailing lack of fairness, whether that be in work or play environments,” a press release says.
“Mental health and toxicity are addressed in a series of sessions, from ‘Accountability and Repair: A new framework for addressing Toxicity?’ to an examination of the intersectional nature of Mysoginoir revealed through a new research report from Glitch.”
“There are still huge challenges facing women working in games and esports, and women and girls playing games online,” says Women in Games CEO, Marie-Claire Isaaman.
“Our work at Women in Games is to address these significant challenges, and look to find solutions. Our Annual Global Conference provides us with the chance to ask difficult questions, to disrupt – in the hope of collectively seeking answers.
