GDC Europe and Gamescom team up for second annual Women In Tech Day

Mark your calendars: GDC Europe organizers are pleased to announce that they're continuing their partnership with gamescom to help put on the second annual Women in Tech Day in Cologne, Germany.

The limited-capacity event will once again take place immediately after the close of GDC Europe, on Wednesday, August 17th -- the first day of gamescom.

As always, the Women in Tech Day is meant to be a common space and forum for women working in all areas of technology, including the game industry, IT, digital and other fields. Prominent leaders from the video game industry and other areas of tech will come together to speak, network and share their unique experiences.

Goals include inspiring women to collaborate on innovative solutions by providing opportunities for learning and networking, promoting diversity in technology industries, advocating technology and celebrating women role models who have chosen a career in tech and who inspire others to do the same.

The event is made possible through the collaboration of gamescom and GDC Europe, and more details on what's taking place at this year's Women In Tech Day -- as well as how to register your interest in attending -- will be announced in the near future.

For now, don't miss your chance to save up to 200 euros on an All Access Pass to GDC Europe 2016 by registering for a pass by July 20th. The conference itself will take place August 15th and 16th at the Cologne Congress-Centrum Ost venue in Cologne, Germany.

GDC Europe 2016 will also continue to offer business and matchmaking opportunities to all attendees with a developer-focused Expo Floor area and networking events throughout the show. For more information, please visit the GDC Europe website.
