DEVELOP CONFERENCE – FIZZ & CAKE, THE WOMEN IN GAMES GUIDE & MORE. JOIN US IN BRIGHTON!

It really won’t be long before we’re enjoying the sunshine in Brighton for the Develop Conference & Awards – and Women in Games is delighted to be part of the programme, as well as a media partner for the first time.

Many members of the Women in Games team will be in town for the event, so we’re looking forward to meeting as many of our friends, colleagues and community as possible during the three days (July 12th-14th).

We will once again be hosting the Women in Games ‘Fizz & Cake’ networking event – sponsored by Hangar 13 – at the Hilton Metropole Hotel on the afternoon of July 13th. More details will follow shortly, so keep an eye on our social channels.

A day earlier (Tuesday July 12th), our CEO Marie-Claire Isaaman and Women in Games Research & Education Consultant Sharon Tolaini-Sage will present the Women in Games Guide: Building A Fair Playing Field.
