Welcome to Femisphere, an event where we highlight and celebrate diversity in the games industry.
Femisphere is a place to come together, share stories and experiences, and celebrate the works of female, transgender and non-binary game developers.

This is a free event! Nobody is excluded, everyone is welcome to attend and have a good time.

Femisphere is aimed at everyone who works in the games industry or intends to. This means this event is not only aimed at designers, artists and programmers, but also at community managers, project managers, students, interns and so on.

The idea behind Femisphere is to create a friendly and inclusive space for female, non-binary and transgender folks in a male-dominated industry. This is not an event where we lament over the current state of the industry, but where we come together to share, inspire and connect.

You are a female, non-binary or transgender developer and want to showcase your game, art work, other projects or you want to give a talk? Feel free to drop a message at femispherevent@gmail.com
