The organizers of GDC Europe are happy to announce a partnership with gamescom to help put on the first annual Women in Tech Day in Cologne, Germany.
Taking place immediately after the close of GDC Europe, this limited-capacity event will be held on Wednesday, August, 5th, the first day of gamescom. Prominent leaders from the video game industry and other areas of tech will come together to speak, network and share their unique experiences.
The first annual Women in Tech Day speaker line-up is quite diverse, featuring German Parliamentary State Secretary (and enthusiastic game player) Dorothee Bär, Tanya Woods from ESA Canada, and Mareike Ottrand of Studio Fizbin (The Inner World), with more to be confirmed at a later date.
This Women in Tech Day is a new event made possible by the collaboration of gamescom, GDC Europe, and Germany's Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure (BMVI). Those who attend will gain access to special presentations, a workshop session, lunch, and a pass to gamescom.
