Tidsvåg celebrates female role models in games

Tidsvåg is an annual event that aims to achieve more diversity in the game industry by highlighting female role models and inspiring young girls and non-binary to see games and tech as future career paths. On November 11th the game event will take place at Goto10 in Stockholm and online, and Futuregames is a proud sponsor.

During Tidsvåg the audience will take part in game demos and interviews with successful women within games and e-sport. Listen to talks with female game developers and entrepreneurs and ask your questions about working in the industry. The winner of the Elisabeth Tegner scholarship 2021 will also be announced. The scholarship was established in 2017 by Changemaker Educations and Futuregames and is handed out annually to a role model in tech or games.

Participating studios and organisations on this fall’s Tidsvåg event include Embark studios, Female Legends, King, Womengineer, Kavalri Games, och Iron Gate. Anna Norrevik, CEO Antler Interactive, will moderate the event.
