Women in Games Annual Global Conference: A Question of Disruption in Games and eSports
Women in Games Annual Global Conference will take place virtually on Tuesday, October 10 – tickets available now
Join hundreds of other women and allies from around the world for a full day of discussion and networking
The Women in Games Annual Global Conference will next month examine the idea and reality of disruption as its theme; asking direct questions to look forward and build a better, progressive future for women in games and esports around the world.
Taking place via the Hopin online platform on Tuesday October 10, the Women in Games Annual Global Conference will ask what is being done to disrupt existing norms and bring fairness to the playing field for women.
Tickets are priced at just £30 but there are ‘early bird’ discounts on a first come-first served basis. Women in Games is a not-for-profit organisation and any money it receives from ticket sales covers the cost of the per-delegate cost incurred from the Hopin platform as well as supporting the continuation of its work.
From questions based on original research about representation such as ‘What’s going wrong with women’s dialogue in video games?’, to questions from returning innovators about pay such as ‘Salary transparency: breaking the game or path to success?’, the Women in Games Annual Global Conference will offer abundant challenges to the prevailing lack of fairness, whether that be in work or play environments. Mental health and toxicity are addressed in a series of sessions, from ‘Accountability and repair: A new framework for addressing toxicity?’ to an examination of the intersectional nature of Mysoginoir revealed through a new research report from Glitch.
Every session will pose a significant question, focusing on the Women in Games Priority Spheres of Action:
Fairness: equity and parity of pay and opportunity
Toxicity and Harassment: within workplace and gaming spaces
Entrepreneurship: opportunities, investment and funding
Talent Development: developing talent and fostering leadership culture
Education: all types and at all levels: school, training, colleges, universities, research institutes
Diverse Creative Representation: of women and their ideas in platforms, products and services
Advocacy and Awareness: raising awareness about the importance of gender equality in the global gaming ecosystem and challenging harmful stereotypes and biases
Research and Data Collection: conducting research on the state of gender equality in gaming; using data-driven insights to inform strategies and measure progress
Community Building: fostering safe and inclusive gaming communities, provide resources to support women and girls, and encourage positive behaviours
Industry Collaboration: partnering with game developers, publishers and other stakeholders to create inclusive games and work environments that promote diversity and equality
“There are still huge challenges facing women working in games and eSports and women and girls playing games online,” the Chief Executive Officer for Women in Games, Marie-Claire Isaaman, said. “Our work at Women in Games is to address these significant challenges and look to find solutions. Our Women in Games Annual Global Conference provides us with the chance to ask difficult questions, to disrupt, in the hope of collectively seeking answers.
“Women in Games’ continuing mantra is that no-one should be disadvantaged because they are a woman and our speakers will share their perspectives on how and why their efforts at disrupting the status quo are a reason for optimism about positive change in the worlds of games, eSports and beyond.”

Huge Jackpot at King Billy Casino: C$3,658,306!
King Billy Casino, launched in 2017, has had some impressive players wins during the “reign of King Billy”. A few of them include Live Game winnings of €135,223, daily winnings from 2 or more slots of $164,000, and €250,000 won on a single spin. However, the latest win by a King Billy Casino player dwarfs every big win that has come before this. Actually, it’s bigger than all previous big wins combined for the operator!
Because, we are talking about C$3,658,306.
This amazing six-digit number was the result of a player going on a safari in her (and millions of other players) beloved Mega Moolah progressive slot from Games Global. In an autumn, the player stepped into eternal summer by wagering a small C$6,25 bet and winning 562.816 times her bet! This is the power of Mega Moolah, as evidenced at King Billy.
King Billy people had only warm words for the occasion. A representative of the casino has stated: “We are elated, for this huge big win. We can never forget that our first big win, many years back, was more than 200,000 Canadian dollars, so we have special ties with the region. And it’s now amazing to see our VIP-player making such a cashback and echoing that big win! Congratulations to our player”.
A few words about Mega Moolah. It was an Internet sensation when it was launched with its beautiful graphics and sounds, and immersive gameplay and it is a sensation today, still going strong after almost 20 years. The slot, which has spawned more than 20 variations, and has given millions in cash to players all over the world (including 5 millionaires in 2024 alone) features 4 types of jackpots that make it stand out from the competition.
