Last night’s mixer was an incredible celebration of learning, connection, and community. The room was packed with women across the gaming industry ready to grow, network, and elevate one another.

Shantel Love delivered an unforgettable keynote with “Promote Your D@mn Self”- bold, energizing, and exactly the message our members needed. She lit up the room and set the tone for an evening full of powerful conversations and new connections.

We were also thrilled to partner with the American Heart Association, who hosted a hands‑on CPR practice station and heart‑health learning experience. Their activation added a meaningful and engaging element that our members absolutely loved.

A huge thank‑you to Frazier & Deeter for hosting us in their beautiful space and supporting our mission to bring meaningful development opportunities to women in gaming. And an extra‑special thank‑you to Shantel for sharing her voice, her story, and her fire with our community.

We’re grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make the night such a success. The momentum continues, and we can’t wait for what’s next!
