1,000 Dreams Fund (1DF) hosted the second annual BroadcastHER Summit for women in streaming, gaming, and esports on October 23rd and 24th, exclusively on Twitch. The two-day virtual event featured a diverse lineup of talented women content creators and industry thought leaders as well as the first-ever All-Woman Apex Legends Tournament.
“We are so thrilled to bring back our BroadcastHER Summit for a second year, part of our BroadcastHER Initiative for our growing community of talented and passionate women content creators and gamers, said Christie Garton, the Founder of the 1,000 Dreams Fund. “Thanks to the support of Twitch Women’s Alliance and our collaboration with Brown Girl Gamer Code and EA, we will help empower even more deserving women in this industry to reach their awe-inspiring goals in streaming and gaming.”
1DF launched their BroadcastHER Initiative in 2018 specifically to support underserved women content creators who stream as well as women in gaming and esports. Since its launch, 1DF has developed several key programs from their 1DF’s Twitch BroadcastHER Grant Program, which awards microgrants to up-and-coming women content creators twice per year for items like hardware and equipment upgrades or participating in educational conferences, to their BroadcastHER Academy (powered by Allied Esports & HyperX), an esports fellowship program for women, 1DF seeks to empower the rising numbers of female streamers, content creators and esports enthusiasts to succeed both on and behind the camera.
While women represent nearly 50% of gamers and are rising in influence in the esports industry, they still face hurdles including gender gaps in salaries and prize earnings and a lack of financial support to fund their creative projects.
