To mark International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month, Plus X has partnered with Found + Flourish to curate a month-long series of events. ‘Trailblazing Women’ celebrates the women in our business community that are innovating for social, environmental, and political good – in Brighton and beyond. Part of Spring Forward Festival 2021, find out more here.

This year’s International Women’s Day theme is #choosetochallenge. Individually, we’re all responsible for our own thoughts and actions – all day, every day. We can choose to challenge and call out gender bias and inequity. We can also choose to seek out and celebrate women’s achievements.

This event is an interactive talk led by two female founders that are carving a path in the male-dominated gaming industry. Sarah Ticho of Hastumi and Hazel Reynolds of Gamely Games will be discussing their inspiring stories, how to run a kind business, why there is a lack of women in gaming tech, what the future looks like, and, most importantly, a demonstration of their products.

This event is brought to you by the BRITE Innovation team based at Plus X Brighton. BRITE have chosen to celebrate women’s achievements by sharing the story of two purpose-led local businesses that are innovating for good.
