Unity & OGA Partner to Increase Speaker Diversity
We are happy to announce the launch of a speaker database and event resource WISER - Women in Software & Entertainment Representation.
The goal of WISER is to shift the conversation -- from getting (and keeping) women in gaming and entertainment to normalizing their very presence by increasing visibility and representation at events and on industry stages. This doesn’t mean women speaking about being a woman in the industry; it means encouraging and enabling women to be on stage speaking about their specific area of expertise.
WISER is a collective of peer-endorsed female professionals in gaming and software available for speaking and public appearances. These are experts in everything from product management to engineering and design, independent creators and leaders at companies.
We’re kicking off the project today and want you to take part. Interested in participating? Tell us about yourself. Know someone who’d be great? Pass this along! Trans and non-binary welcome too!
How it works:

- If you’re interested in speaking at industry events and conferences please visit WISER and fill out the registration form.
