What is Impact Day?

Impact Day is a digital mini-conference delivered as part of the Impact Campaign by Many Cats Studios CIC.

Hosted during Disability Pride 2025, this one-day conference brings together disabled and neurodivergent professionals to talk about their role, career or progression in the games industry.

The conference is pre-recorded, streamed in the Many Cats Studios CIC community Discord and with opportunities to network and discuss the talks with the community.

Who should come to this mini-conference?

  • You're a disabled and/or neurodivergent person wanting to get into the games industry, but want to know more about what kind of careers disabled people can have.

  • You're disabled and/or neurodivergent, work in the games industry but struggle to see representation that reflects you.

  • You're non-disabled and an ally, wanting to learn from other professionals who happen to be disabled and/or neurodivergent.
