About this Event
Join us for the second Girls in Gaming Summit, an event designed to ignite and foster interest in video games, interactive entertainment, themed amusement, and other related professional pursuits.
During this unique summit, educators and their students will get the opportunity to hear from accomplished women as they share their journeys and insights. The summit’s speakers, mostly gamers themselves, play important roles in the gaming industry, and reflect the diversity of career options that exist in this field.
Don’t miss this chance to open new doors for your students and inspire the next generation of gaming innovators.
*Important Registration Notes:
- Each school may bring up to about 10 students to attend this innovative summit. Only complete one registration per school. No specific student information will be required upon registration, just an estimated number of students attending; we will collect this closer to the event.
- This event filled up quickly last year! Due to limited space, please only register if you fully expect to be able to attend (though we understand that things come up!).
- If you attended last year, we kindly ask you to bring a different group of students so a greater number of individuals will ultimately be able to access this unique opportunity.
