On June 20, Tirana will host a unique gathering aimed at amplifying the voices of women in the gaming industry. Game Divas Meetup, a regional initiative bringing together game professionals from across the Western Balkans, will take place from 18:00 to 20:00 at Coolab Coworking Space.

Organized by the Macedonian Games Industry Association, in collaboration with Albanian Gaming Community, Coolab, and the Serbian Games Association, this event is more than a meetup, it’s a platform for real conversations, connections, and opportunities.

From behind-the-scenes roles in QA to directing indie studios and managing blockbuster productions, the featured speakers are women who are not only building games but shaping the future of the industry:

• Kristina Culaj – Creative Director at Tika Studios
• Milica Todorović – Producer at Ubisoft Belgrade
• Ana Zdravkova – QA Tester at IndiumPlay
• Hosted by Lorena Gjana, Albanian Games Community

The event is open to the public, but with a special invitation to young women interested in gaming, tech, storytelling, design, and digital careers. It’s an ideal space for students, creatives, and curious minds to explore what’s possible in an industry that’s rapidly evolving, and still learning to be inclusive.

Expect powerful stories, honest discussions, Q&A moments, and a chance to network in a relaxed, inspiring environment.

Game Divas Meetup is free to attend, with registration required at the following link:

This event is part of a broader capacity-building effort funded by the Western Balkans Fund’s 7th Call for Proposals, co-funded by the European Union through the IPA III Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance.

Whether you’re an aspiring game developer, an artist curious about digital worlds, or simply someone who loves to play and wants to learn more, Game Divas is your chance to dive into the creative and collaborative world of game development.
