Gaming has the power to unite people from all corners of the world and to be a force for good. It can offer unrivalled forms of expression and creativity, and with fair and inclusive representation, it can flourish like no other entertainment industry.
By honouring diversity, we ensure that more players see themselves reflected in the games they love, and that more creators feel welcome at the development table. Recognising women- and all underrepresented groups- not only champions fairness and equality but also unlocks richer creativity, better business outcomes, and more vibrant communities.
That’s why this month’s Women in Games Awards holds so much value. Not just as a glamorous ceremony, but as a vital recognition of the women who shape and elevate gaming. At Green Man Gaming, we’re thrilled to be part of this celebration, and even more honoured to be presenting our own award, Rising Star, on the night.
The Women in Games Awards exist to shine a light on the extraordinary contributions of women across the gaming ecosystem. With categories spanning the impact women have had across education, comms, careers, development and more, the awards demonstrate that female talent thrives in all parts of the industry. The ceremony brings together peers, mentors, and rising stars, fostering meaningful connections while celebrating those who push boundaries.
Green Man Gaming is deeply committed to fostering a more inclusive industry. That’s why we’re delighted to present an award at the Women in Games Awards this year: Rising Star.
We’re also thrilled to see our very own EVP of Performance Marketing, Adele Simpson, nominated in the Business Impact category. Adele’s strategic leadership, innovative thinking, and commitment to growth have made tangible waves, both within Green Man Gaming and across the broader gaming community.
