Gamecity Hamburg evolved its FLINTA* Games Meetup, established in summer 2023, into a structured Mentoring Dinner format on September 23, 2025.
The inaugural mentoring event featured eight professional mentors from major companies including Capcom, Bigpoint, InnoGames, and Daedalic Entertainment.
Mentoring sessions covered diverse industry disciplines, specifically indie studio management, programming, art direction, PR, marketing, product management, and localization.
The event structure utilized two rounds of 1:1 mentoring sessions followed by a communal dinner to facilitate both professional development and informal networking.
The initiative aims to support the long-term career advancement of female, lesbian, intersex, non-binary, trans, and agender professionals within the games industry.
Consistent attendance over the past two years demonstrates a growing and active community of FLINTA* professionals in the Hamburg region.
The program is sustained through industry sponsorship, reflecting a collaborative effort to scale diversity-focused professional development initiatives.
