Taking place at the University of Westminster in London, the day will be filled with a variety of speaker sessions, panels and workshops.

So far, the speaker list includes UKIE chair Angy Payne, Small Jelly CTO Vicky Smalley, and MD of StoryTech Life, Claire Tavernier.

"This year's conference programme is shaping up to be our best yet in terms of content which will help delegates' fast track their careers in the games industry," said WiG CEO Jenny Richards-Stewart.

"We wanted to focus on practical subjects and have also introduced workshops covering the main disciplines of games development. As always we have tried to keep the ticket prices as low as possible so that it is within the reach of students, entry level delegates and those working for small start-ups and Indies.

I am looking forward to revealing more details of the conference programme in due course. We will also be announcing some exciting initiatives from Women in Games over the next few weeks."

Early bird tickets are currently available for £50 each, with the full price set at £95.

More details will be announced via the conference website
