| Women in Games International Conference Women in Games International announced their next conference, Women in Games International-San Francisco, titled 'Games for Women, Games by Women'. Scheduled on Saturday, February 18 from 1 pm to 6 pm at the Fort Mason Conference Center in San Francisco, this conference addresses the myth that women don't 'do' games by discussing statistics, game genres and careers in game development. This seminar will provide useful information for women and men, as well as new and veteran game developers, with topics including marketing to women and designing games that appeal to both genders. Round-table discussions with industry leaders will include: how to break in and advance your game industry career, mid-career strategies, achieving a work/life balance and resolving quality of life issues. For those who are looking for work in the gaming industry, there will be a recruiter Q&A with resume and portfolio reviews. The Women in Games International Conference series has been created as a forum to discuss a wide range of issues related to women in games. The half-day conference consists of an opening keynote address, panel discussions with top experts in the field, round-table discussions and a post-conference networking reception.
