We are thrilled to announce that the Accelerate Fellows will be attending GDC 2025! Thanks to the incredible support from the GDC Scholars program and I Need Diverse Games (INDG), we’ve been able to secure All-Access badges for our fellows. This opportunity will allow fellows to interact with industry leaders, learn from leading experts about the latest challenges and opportunities in games, and connect with others who are passionate about creating more diverse and meaningful play experiences.
A special thank you to Sony for sponsoring the fellows during their time at GDC. Their support will help ensure that these talented individuals have the resources they need to maximize their experience at one of the largest gatherings of game developers worldwide.
And, of course, we want to express our deepest gratitude to our title sponsor, Riot Games. Without their commitment and belief in the mission of this program, none of this would be possible. Riot’s support plays a critical role in helping to shape a more inclusive and vibrant future for the gaming industry.
We can’t wait to see what the future holds for our Accelerate Fellows as they continue to grow, innovate, and inspire the next generation of game developers. Here’s to building a more informed, compassionate, and inclusive future at the intersection of mental health and games.
Interested in cultivating the next gen of game industry leadership? We’re actively looking for sponsors for season two of Accelerate! Contact Kelli@TakeThis.org for more information.
