Event Information
Event Name: Women in Games 2010
Event Description:   The University of Bradford in cooperation with Bradford College will host Women In Games 2010 in March. Women In Games is in its 7th year and Bradford brings a strong technological and cultural background to this internationally recognised event.
Themes
1. Race for the future
How a multiethnic and multicultural industry is changing the 'face' of those in the games industry.

2. Global Neighbours
Now we are becoming a global village, how might this affect our perceptions of what constitutes 'entertainment'?

3. Can I borrow a fiver?
How is the recession and tax break issues affecting the industry? And what does it mean for the future of the UK industry, now that outsourcing is more global than ever?

4. My small, international development team
The Internet is becoming the network between companies and physical locale is no longer an issue. What does this mean for the future of game development in the UK and abroad?

5. 'Girls study video games?'
How misconceptions and stereotypes could be affecting girls/ women joining video games courses at all levels.

6. Gender Blind
A term used in the last few years is 'colour blind'- the idea of seeing a person not a colour. Consider how women are seen as their gender only, does gender need to be forgotten for a true integration?
