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.

Background | Carnegie Mellon University's Entertainment Technology Center houses a graduate program designed to help students prepare for careers in interactive entertainment as it is applied across different fields. Through a curriculum that emphasizes leadership, communication, and innovation, the ETC seeks to turn talented students from myriad professional and academic backgrounds into creative professionals.

Who Should Attend | Middle and high school educators interested in encouraging girls to participate in gaming and to explore the diverse range of careers that exist in the industry. These educators should bring students who participate in gaming, are interested in participate in gaming, or may be well-suited for one of the many career opportunities in the gaming industry. This is a great event for girls to see women represented in the field.

Lunch will be provided.
