15.00 - 16.00 More Diversity in Games
(in partnership with Swedish Games Industry)
All kinds of people play games, but among those who make them, diversity is more limited. How can the trend of more women and various backgrounds in the games industry be supported? What can companies do on their own in terms of equal career opportunities and the design of their games? How do we attract students to the game educations and talent from other industries? And, most importantly, how can the image of games as a habitat for only white men be changed?
You guys are really pushing the Sweden meme arent you? Still this seems really silly since while I don't know the stats but a rough guess would be the high 90% of your customers are white and even more male. Just seems your setting yourself up to fail with this part of the press event, surely the press are there to talk about vidya, not politics and diversity.

Let's play with the thought your rough estimate of 90% of our audience being only white males. First of all, less than 10% of the content is dedicated to these things that, according to you, apparently white males can not be interested in. So the balance there should be fine. If anything we might need to crank up the diversity focus a bit to make that aspect balanced.
Second: I am confident that there are white males interested in increasing the diversity within our industry. Hell, I'm a white man interested in that.
And the fact that you might be right with your estimate of 90% white males is what makes these kind of things even more important. If you are not interested yourself, then go to the other talk that is going on at the same time, or take a beer break or whatever.
I just bought an extra ticket for my wife - she's not into the games, but is likely to find the tours and such of great interest.

Where do I sync them so that I too receive my shiny icon?
Here i suppose (didn't have to do that, so not 100% sure):Where do I sync them so that I too receive my shiny icon?
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?account/owneditems
You can also click on your username on the top right (not the email adress on the edge of screen, but a bit below that) and then click "owned items"
Where do I sync them so that I too receive my shiny icon?
If you go up under your profile. To the right in the top bar (the one with home, forums etc.). Theres an avatar and forum name. Hit that. The select "owned items"
At the top of your owned items theres a "sync owned"
Thanks, Icon shows up there, so it should probably also start showing up on my posts soon
If anyone else has troubles getting the icon to show up: Maybe you have too many owned items, so you have to hide some icons until you get down to 54 Icons.Thanks, Icon shows up there, so it should probably also start showing up on my posts soon
Do you know when the Gold Ticket LAN-Party/Event will start on Friday? I am only flying in on the afternoon.
