Games for Women, Games by Women conference to happen in February

Women in Games conference logo ukA whole lineup of women in gaming experts are scheduled to talk at February's Women in Games International conference, "Games for Women, Games by Women". Only a half-day event (compared to October's two day women-in-games love fest), it looks pretty comprehensive, covering topics ranging from marketing to women to career strategies and work/life balance issues.

The conference is as much about bringing women working in games together as educating others about the apparently elusive female gamer. As such, it's a valuable addition to the game conference calendar, and if previous conferences are anything to go by it will open attendees' eyes to a variety of issues. At the October conference, hardcore girl gamers swapped stories with jaded programmers and top-level female executives, and everyone went away having learnt more about the different perspectives of the myriad women in gaming. Hopefully in a few years there will be no need for conferences like this, however, as companies and the audience become more diverse.
