This year women in games is being held in a design school in the University of Wales, Newport and will focus on ‘Aesthetics in play: new platforms, new perspectives, new players’.
This year will see some high profile industry people from the US, the UK and Europe speaking as well as more academic papers and demos of work in progresss.
The deadline for proposals and papers was extended by two weeks and the new deadline is the 16th of Feb so there is still time to send in your ideas.
There is also now a womeningames blog at http://womeningames.wordpress.com/
Original call can be found at http://www.gamedevelopers.ie/news/viewnews.php?article=296
Submissions can be made within the following categories: full paper, short paper, poster, panel or student forum. All submissions will be anonymously peer-reviewed by the Women in Games steering committee.
