​Platonic Love • Romance • Self-Love

​Join GG Women Professionals (GGWP) at The MADE for a Valentine’s celebration that goes beyond the bouquet. We’re gathering gamemakers and players to celebrate the full spectrum of love—from the romantic arcs we write into our games to the platonic bonds that sustain our careers and the self-love that fuels our creativity.

​Whether you're looking for your "Player 2," celebrating your "Galentines," or investing in your own professional growth, there is a place for you here.

​ 💜The Three Pillars of the Day💜

​•    Platonic Love: Discover why friendship is an industry superpower—the foundation of collaboration and the backbone of support for under-represented voices.

​•    Romance: Explore the art of narrative design and how we craft authentic, heart-pounding (or heart-breaking) connections in virtual worlds.

​•    Self-Love: Take a moment for yourself at our crafting station and leave with Valentine Cards (and swag!) to help you "raise your game."
