Event Safety Standards

We’ve teamed up with Take This to create the Event Safety Standards Guide, which aims to provide concrete guidance to people in the game industry on how events can be created in a safer, more inclusive manner.

This includes looking at the planning, policies, and culture of your event, as well as what tools are made available, providing event organizers with a range of resources they can use to make their event safer and more approachable for all members of the games industry.

The guide also includes guidance for event and conference attendees and supervisors on how to employ safety tools and supports, including accessing safe, local supports.

We have created this guide in response to the continued, pervasive concerns about harassment, safety, and accessibility at game industry events across the globe. As part of the effort, we have consulted with members of the industry and other advocacy groups in games. We are grateful to all of them for their thoughtful review.

Content warning: This document discusses a variety of topics which may be distressing to some. This includes discussions of alcohol use, harassment, and sexual assaults.
