Women in Games 2008
This year’s Women in Games conference is being hosted jointly by the Department of Computer Science,University of Warwick and Rare Ltd. This is as a really exciting opportunity to get together with a wide mix of both academic and industrial participants (both male and female!) and to focus on issues relating to games industry and research, but with a particular emphasis on issues relating to the current gender imbalance. The conference covers all aspects of games but this year (given the interests of the Warwick Computer Science Department) they’re focusing on the technology aspects: getting women into Computer Science education, getting women into games programming.
Keynote Speakers:
Sara de Freitas (Serious Games)
Karen Brennan (Scratch, MIT)
Paulina Bozek (Sony)
Karen Clark (Bioware)
Eileen Brown (Microsoft)
*Deadline now extended to Monday 23rd June.
