Women in Games

Image: 
Description: 

“Traditionally the games development industry has been dominated by young, white, middle class males. The Women In Games conferences battle to combat this… The conference welcomes participation from women and men from a variety of backgrounds - arts, humanities, social sciences, exact sciences and computing, both academics and industry professionals, to explore the issues that open up the whole game development process.” This conference was cancelled due to low delegate attendance and was instead held as a one day event at the Develop Conference in Brighton.
