AlterConf is a traveling conference series that provides safe opportunities for marginalized people and those who support them in the tech and gaming industries. By highlighting the powerful voices and positive initiatives of local community members, we build hope and strengthen the community’s resolve to create safer spaces for everyone.

The conferences go beyond the limited definitions and basic discussions of diversity to create a deeper, more nuanced conversation. Each conference features a wide range of speakers delivering critical analyses of tech and gaming culture and presenting their vision for what our community can be.

We invite you to join us as we work toward a more inclusive future.

If you would like one of our community tickets, please @ us on Twitter (@INeedDivGms) or email us at indg@ineeddiversegames.org with AlterConf NYC in the subject line.

We would like these tickets to go to folks who would otherwise be able to attend, so please keep that in mind before sending a request for a free ticket if you could otherwise attend.

Thank you AlterConf for supporting our community!
