Happy International Women’s Day to everyone! Despite the challenges and news of the day, let’s take a moment to reflect on the positive contributions of women in the gaming industry and community. It’s a day worth celebrating.
Hosting Women in Gaming breakfast panels at GamesBeat’s events has introduced me to some incredible individuals in the industry. Jen O’Neal, Catharina Mallet, Monika Madrid, Perrin Kaplan, Erica Larson, Michelle Torrey, Sarah Anderson, Shail Mehta, Namrata Gandhi, Kamini Tiwari, Jane Hoffacker, Andrea Rene, Gina Joseph, Sharon Goldman, and Jordan Fragen are just a few of the amazing women who continuously shape the gaming landscape through their work and dedication.
Women like Roberta Williams, Bonnie Ross, Brenda Romero, Kim Swift, Amy Hennig, Ikumi Nakamura, and countless others have made significant impacts on the gaming industry. Additionally, women in games media such as Rebekah Valentine, Carli Velocci, Alyssa Mercante, Gita Jackson, Janet Garcia, Lucy James, and Bailey Meyers deserve recognition for their contributions and insights.
As for gaming choices this weekend, there are plenty of exciting options to explore. Will it be a Balatro weekend, a Final Fantasy weekend, or perhaps a dive into Helldivers 2? Whichever direction you choose, make sure to check out the Princess Peach: Showtime demo for a unique gaming experience!
