ESA Foundation’s We Are program gives women a platform at E3

The Entertainment Software Association and Red Bull Media House are expanding their We Are initiative at next week’s Electronic Entertainment Expo in Los Angeles. The ESA Foundation (a nonprofit branch of the ESA) launched it at last year’s E3 with a photo gallery of women in the games industry, but this year it will also host a series of panels starring speakers like Naughty Dog game designer Liz Fiacco, Funomena CEO Robin Hunicke, and IGF chairperson Kelly Wallick.

The ESA Foundation has been working with Red Bull Media House on the initiative from the start, and it is also teaming up with Facebook for a video booth so that women at E3 can share and record their experiences. On June 12 and June 13, panels will run throughout the day at the We Are booth, covering topics such as esports, creating video content, and running a small studio.
