Be The Change Summit 2024

Be The Change: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Summit, powered by Women in Esports. This Summit is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at advancing diversity, equity and inclusivity not only in the esports industry, but in society as a whole. After the incredible success of the 2023 event, we’re returning again this year with exciting speakers, keynotes and workshops.

Tickets are fully funded for employed individuals who live or work with a company based in the Sunderland area, you can register here.

And for those interested outside of Sunderland, tickets are on sale now!

This event will take place in person at City Hall, Sunderland, on Thursday November 21st 2024 from 9.30am to 5pm.

This year’s theme is ‘Educating’, following the success of last year’s ‘Empowering’ theme. The idea is to improve long-term improvement in underrepresentation through clear education that addresses diversity and inclusivity in esports.

Once again, the Summit aims to offer networking opportunities, and raise awareness about the significance of equity, diversity and inclusivity, with speakers sharing their experiences in a safe space that encourages open dialogue. Food and beverages will also be provided on the day.
