WOMEN IN GAMES ANNUAL CONFERENCE 2023: FIRST SPEAKERS
We are just a couple of weeks out from the Women in Games Annual Global Conference 2023, which takes place on Tuesday October 10th, virtually via the Hopin platform.
At Women in Games we care about bringing more women into a fairer, safer games industry, where women’s representation and wellbeing are of central importance.
