Womenize! is an event series for women, non-binary people and all marginalized voices in the games and tech industry.

  • We highlight and document success stories, connect people and put a spotlight on diverse talents within the games industry.
  • Our event is community driven, open minded and inclusive, bringing together emerging talents with inspiring figures of the games and tech industry.

  • We are supported by studios and companies in the games & tech industries, as well as by institutions and multipliers in the fields of education, research, culture and art.

The ultimate aspiration is for Womenize! to become obsolete.

When gender diversity, inclusivity and equality become an inherent part of the games & tech landscape, our mission will be accomplished.
