PlayFirst at Casual Connect: It Pays to Hire Women in Games Panel
This year the Gamesauce Conference premiered, the day before Casual Connect, July 19. It's a conference for game developers "intended to get you to stop doing for a few minutes so that you might spend a little time thinking. Thinking about your place and your purpose and your passion."
I proposed a panel for the Leadership and Development track of the conference, which was organized by Women in Games International (WIGI), IGDA Women in Games & WIG Vancouver. The organizers wanted a panel on "the benefits of hiring women in the game industry". My plan was to gather several awesome and talented women in the biz, get them talking, and let their achievements speak for themselves. The panel was very positive since all of us have had really positive experiences in the industry, as people (not just as women).
