Excellent GDC panel on women in games

I would post a picture with this post, but the images that are returned using the keywords “women and games” are frighteningly sexist. Thus, the reason for the following:

Inspired by the #1ReasonWhy and #1ReasonToBe hashtag discussion, join a rapid, fun microtalk-style celebration and exploration of what it means to be a woman in games. Each panelist will share their experience, its highs and lows, and explore a vision for a future industry that is inclusive for all. Hosted by Brenda Romero and Leigh Alexander, panelists include Constance Steinkuehler, (Professor at Universty of Madison Wisconsin), Elizabeth LaPensee, (Game Designer at Odaminowin Studio), Adriel Wallick, (Programmer at MsMinotaur), Sela Davis, (Software Engineer at Microsoft), Amy Hennig (Creative Director at EA) and Katherine Davis (PhD candidate at CUNY).
