Women & Gaming

Hi All,

We’re excited to announce our first Edinburgh Women in Technology Meetup for 2019: Women & Gaming.

After reviewing the suggestions from our last event, there were quite a few requests for industry spotlights & networking opportunities and so we have brought these together with a ‘gaming’ theme.

We have a couple of super interesting speakers and a networking game lined up so please join us for a night of fun and fascinating conversation!

Please note: this is very much not just for women in gaming, the talks have been designed to give you a flavour of the different areas / roles within the industry, whilst also giving some insight on the relatable challenges of working in an even more male dominated environment than other technology jobs.

A massive thank you to Google Garage for hosting the event, Cloudreach for sponsoring (free food and free drinks for everyone!) and finally to our amazing speakers!
