The event is designed to promote an inclusive and equitable toy

unleash their creativity, and increase awareness and exposure to
creative career paths. The 2024 virtual event will close with the
launch of Hasbro’s second annual Women Innovators of Play
Challenge that encourages women inventors to submit their toy
and game ideas to receive funding, mentorship and a trip to Hasbro
HQ.
“The speakers we’ve lined up for this year’s conference include
some of the brightest minds from a variety of influential spaces,”
said Kim Boyd, President, Global Brands and Franchise Management.
“From a clinical psychologist who has changed the way we parent, to
a renowned astrophysicist and NASA scientist, to a board game
narrative designer, our speakers and program will galvanize women
to harness their brilliance and create their best work. This event
is just one part of our broader commitment to building a more
powerful and inclusive community of women toy and game
inventors.”
The program’s ambition is rooted in Hasbro’s longstanding
commitment to building strong and vibrant communities, both inside
and outside its walls.
“We know that as an industry, we have a lot of work to do to
welcome more women and underrepresented inventors into the fold,”
said Angus Walker, Head of Inventor Relations at Hasbro. “At the
same time, there's never been more of a need for connecting people
through toys and games. Rather than wait for change to happen, we
decided to be at the forefront by creating this opportunity to
nurture and boost talented women creators. We're proud of the
Hasbro Women Innovators of Play program and we can’t wait to see
where the next great toy or game idea might come from."
