Speaker: Kate Edwards (CEO & Principal Consultant, Geogrify)

Having spent 25 years in the game industry as a culturalization expert and 5 years as Executive Director of the International Game Developers Association (2012-2017), and now a Board Member of Take This, Kate Edwards has gained a very unique perspective on the confluence of games, cultures, and the reality of advocating for change in both worlds. Kate will reflect on the nature of her professional work, and how that passion drives her choice to be a relentless force for change in the game industry – and use her own example to empower the audience to follow the same journey into advocacy.
