Global Gaming Women’s signature event is part of the organization’s 10th anniversary agenda

Each fall as the gaming industry converges in Las Vegas for the Global Gaming Expo (G2E), Global Gaming Women (GGW) rolls out the red carpet for guests of the organization’s flagship event and principal fundraiser: Kick Up Your Heels.

As we celebrate the 10th anniversary of GGW, we invite you to consider joining us on September 30 at Intrigue at Wynn Las Vegas for this year’s signature fundraiser. This prestigious event brings together influential leaders in the gaming industry, inspiring connections, conversation and celebration.

One of the most treasured aspects of Kick Up Your Heels is honoring recipients of the Patty Becker Pay It Forward Award. Inspired by the remarkable contributions of gaming industry trailblazer Patty Becker, the namesake award celebrates women in the global gaming sector who embody Becker’s legacy of generosity, mentorship, advocacy, and unwavering commitment to helping others succeed.

This year, six outstanding women, representing diverse aspects of the global gaming sector, will be honored with this signature distinction.

Kick Up Your Heels is made possible by the enduring support of our valued sponsors—many of whom have supported GGW from its earliest days. This year, Wynn Las Vegas returns as the event’s Host Sponsor, while Yaamava’ Resort & Casino is the event’s generous Presenting Sponsor, each making remarkable contributions that will help GGW in its mission.

Money raised from Kick Up Your Heels helps fund important aspects of our programming, including online learning through Harvard Business Publishing, in-person educational conferences and industry-specific training, mentorship programs like Lean In Circles and OneUpOneDown, professional networking events and peer-to-peer connections, the production of the GGW: Fair Game Podcast, and more.

With more than 10,000 members around the world, we are inspired to reach as many women as possible and committed to offering programming that resonates with women in all levels of their careers.

Whether it’s your first time, or your 10th time, we hope you can join us on September 30 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. for Kick Up Your Heels. If the event does not align with your schedule, or if you’re not able to travel to G2E, there are still plenty of ways to get involved with GGW.
