[casual_games] TOW: Speaker Diversity

[Sheri Rubin]

Hi All,

It's time for another topic of the week this time on speaker diversity.

/*Today at IGDA Summit (http://www.igda.org/summit) the day was kicked 
off with Kim Swift (Portal, Quantum Conundrum) and tomorrow will be with 
Julie Uhrman (Ouya). It's very rare to have an all female set of 
keynotes or female keynotes at all, let alone those of other cultures, 
races, orientations, etc. (e.g. not a straight, white male). Even those 
who may have something great to talk about but aren't just a "famous 
name" may not get a shot at speaking at a conference let alone keynoting.

Who would you like to see/hear keynote at any of the major game 
conferences? Any specific women? Any specific unknown devs? Someone else 
original and out of the box compared to the faces you normally see? */

As always if you have a topic you'd like to suggest please send it to me 
at sheri at designdirectdeliver.com.

Stay awesome!
Sheri

P.S. The IGDA WIG SIG has a speaker's bureau at igda.org/women at
