Women in Games to Join Expo Gamers 2026

January 20, 2026

We are incredibly proud to announce a landmark partnership for this year’s Expo Gamers: a special delegation from Women in Games will be joining us in Opatija!


As we continue to grow the gaming ecosystem in Southeast Europe, fostering a fair, equitable, and inclusive industry remains at the heart of our mission. Partnering with a globally recognized non-profit like Women in Games, an organization dedicated to advocacy, education, and community action, is a major step forward for our regional industry.



Welcoming Global Leadership

We are especially honored to welcome Dr. Marie-Claire Isaaman, CEO and Co-Director of Women in Games, who will be joining the speakers lineup. Marie-Claire’s tireless leadership in advancing gender diversity has left a lasting impact on the global stage, and we are thrilled to have her share her insights on the Adriatic coast. 

We are also looking forward to announcing a wonderful lineup of Women in Games Ambassadors who will be joining our program, very soon. These inspiring women are champions of change within the industry, and we can’t wait to introduce them and share the unique expertise they will bring to our stages in Opatija.



Strengthening the Community

Expo Gamers has always been about more than just business; it’s about the people who make this industry thrive. By hosting the Women in Games delegation, we aim to champion representation across the Adriatic-Balkan gaming market, host meaningful discussions on representation, leadership, talent and create a space for networking that is diverse, safe, and inspiring.
