The Women in Games Global Festival will return this September, once again providing us all with the opportunity to highlight the importance of gender equality, diversity and inclusion within the games and esports industries.
The Women in Games Festival enjoyed a super successful debut in 2021, with the two-week event embracing an IRL Launch Party, two-day Conference, Satelllite Events and the Women in Games Global Awards. In 2022 we’re bringing back all of these elements, as well as including the Career & Networking Expo.
Outside of the Launch Party, the Festival activities will be virtual, and will take in all time zones, once again opening up all events to a truly global audience of women and allies.
