The first Women in Games conference was held by Mark Eyles at the University of Portsmouth in 2004. Following its success conferences ran until 2011, a committee was set up to continue the initiative. Following the 2004 conference other independently run groups were set up to continue the good work of bringing together industry and academia to explore issues around women researching and working in games. Notable initiatives were Women in Games International in the USA and Women in Games Jobs. Women in Games Jobs has now taken the mantle of Women in Games (dropped the ‘Jobs’) and continues to do great work.
