Diversity in Gaming Roundtable

OVERVIEW:

Video Game Palooza and Round Table Media  is organizing and promoting a
Diversity in Gaming Roundtable @ Indy Pop Con.

The goal of this round table panel discussion is to both represent and
discuss diversity in the video game industry. Video Game Palooza will
create a panel discussion and open forum that will comprise of
professionals in the video game industry that represent the best in their
field. We will have a moderated open discussion on current industry
challenges and things game developers are doing today in order to increase
awareness about Diversity in the industry.

Some of the topics will include:

Topic 1 : Equal Inclusion of women in video game content; Topic 2:  Showing
Diversity “in game”

Diversity Awards of Distinction

In addition to the roundtable discussion, Video Game Palooza will be
soliciting feedback and proof from the Independent game companies on
Diversity. We will have a category award winner showing Diversity practices
in their current workplace as well as a winner for ideas that are
real-world implementable from a practical perspective.

a. What my company is doing to promote diversity in Gaming with concrete
examples and
introducing people who have promoted this in their company

b. Some actionable items that all game companies can take with step by step
examples of how
Diversity will help their own company, other companies and the industry in
general to
promote a Diverse workforce

Finally, we will provide a “Best in Show” award of $5,000 to the video game
that highlights diversity

IN GAME with respect to content. The award will mirror the same guidelines
as the main award but will obviously focus on the diversity shown inside
the game.

SEEKING: Title level sponsor to provide $10,000 in cash and prizing
donations that will fund the Diversity Award as well covering flight/travel
expenses for Keynotes and marketing/operational expenses.
