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, 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.

*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; we will collect this closer to the event.
• This event fills up quickly. Due to limited space, please only register if you fully expect to be able to attend (though we understand that things come up!). NOTE- If registration is full, you can still enter your name and email to be put on a waitlist. You will be contacted in the spring should space open up.
• If you attended last year and/or the year prior, we suggest bringing a different group of students so a greater number of students will ultimately be able to access this opportunity.
