About this event

We're focused on co-creating a fun and inclusive space for women and gender minorities in the games industry to grow, connect, and inspire each other.

The theme for this event is mindfulness. The Women In Games (WiG) team wants to give you space and time to pause, be present, and connect with yourself and others. And this includes during play! With this event, we move away from more serious industry-related talks. Instead, we prioritize getting in touch with our mental health, and hope that it will be a fun and rejuvenating experience.

---

*This is an event exclusively for women and gender minorities. If this is not you, but you are an ally and want to support the cause, please follow us on social media, share our posts, and stay tuned for events that are open to all.

*Note: 1 ticket is for 1 person’s admission. Unregistered guests are not permitted and will be turned away at the door.

Activities:

Attendees will be divided into 6 groups, and each group will rotate between 3 activities.

  1. Yoga, taught by Charlene Putney and Carolina Bermejo Pascual. Beginner-friendly and low-intensity yoga. Instructor bios and session details can be found below. Please try to wear clothes that you will be comfortable in for this activity. If you bring a change of clothes, please arrive early as there will be limited time and space to change.
  2. Building with LEGO.
  3. Play workshop. WiG will facilitate a series of playful exercises and lighthearted games to encourage participants to be in the moment, relax, and connect with each other. Exercises will be in groups and in pairs. No experience is needed. Wear comfortable clothes.

Schedule:

17:00 Doors open

17:30 Activities begin

19:00 Dinner (see menu below for dietary info)

20:00 Mingling

21:00 End → moving on to the afterparty!

*Afterparty: The afterparty will be held at a nearby bar selected by the Women In Games team in advance. Exact location to be announced at the event.

*Finding the event space: LEGO's offices can be a bit tricky to find. Look for the hanging green sign for "Bernikow Gården"(see attached photo). This is a tiny street that takes you to many shops and offices. LEGO can be found if you dare venture inside! :)

- Homemade falafel on edamame beans laid on chili aioli with pea shoots (VEGAN)

- French Emmentaler with rye chips

- Petit Four beef

- Sliders with rillette of oyster mushroom, fried kale and vegan dijon mayo (VEGETARIAN)

*Note: No alcohol will be served at the event, but there will be other beverages available. Please join the afterparty if you'd like to wrap up the evening with a drink. :)

Meet Our Yoga Instructors:

Charlene Putney

Charlene Putney is an award-winning writer and teacher from Ireland. After working at Google and Facebook in management positions for almost a decade, she turned to the more creative side of tech and began writing for games in 2013. Before moving to Denmark, she worked on Divinity: Original Sin 2 and story for the upcoming Baldur's Gate 3. She's currently creating LAIKA with her partner Martin Pichlmair to make machine learning more accessible to writers - sign up for our beta at www.writewithlaika.com.
