The percentage of gamers who identify as female has hovered around 50% since 2014. However the demographics of the studios that develop the games they play does not reflect this population ratio, with 23% to 30% of game developers identifying as women. While the demographics of the game development industry as a whole are inching towards parity, the field of game audio is struggling, with only 12% of game audio professionals identifying as women. Why is the game audio industry falling behind in creating a more equitable and diverse community? Join a distinguished and accomplished group of women developers as they tackle this issue through insightful discussion of the underrepresentation of women in game audio and how it relates to the game development industry overall. Panelists address the underlying causes of inequality unique to game audio and strategies for building a more gender diverse industry. Discussion topics include recruitment, education, language, messaging, work environments, safety, and leadership.
