A report by Ukie and the University of York, backed by Women in Games, analysing the experiences of people from the games sector directly or indirectly engaged in the organisation of industry events through 22 in-depth interviews.

·       Consider developing your own code of conduct, running events at different times of the day or week and improving accessibility through live streaming.
