Polygamer #30: GeekGirlCon’s Alyssa Jones & Danielle Gahl

Posted on September 30, 2015 by Ken Gagne

GeekGirlCon 2015, happening October 10–11 in Seattle, celebrates and honors the legacy of women contributing to gaming, comics, art, science, and technology. This five annual convention creates a safe space at which all geeks are welcome.

I chatted with Alyssa Jones, Manager of Gaming, and Danielle Gahl, Public Relations Manager, about what makes GeekGirlCon unique, including its career fair-like GeekGirlConnections room; the inaugural fashion show, and how this event co-exists with the “attire is not consent” code of conduct; the family-friendly DIY Science area; Introvert Alley, a place for geeks to catch a breather; and the panels, which cover Diversity 101 topics before delving into more complex issues of intersectionality, how to enjoy problematic media, and more.
