This informal, highly interactive panel will bring together members of the gameHERs team to discuss such things as how they started the company, how they grew their community, the roles in the company, how we partner with brands, how our first annual gameHERs awards went viral, why the founders try to be the 4 least important people in the room, how we went about raising money when less than 3% of women-founded companies receive outside funding and more!

We want the audience to learn more about all the awesome women in our community, all the incredible organizations we work with who have paved the way for women in gaming, we'd love to inspire women who may be listening and most of all answer any questions the audience may have for us or for any of our teammates who may also be on the panel.
