It has a posi­tive card and a nega­tive card…and it can be adap­ted to all sorts of events.

Thought you would have fun reading about it. Some snip­pets from their website:

About: Play #W4OBingo bingo to help challenge sexism and exclu­sion at confe­ren­ces and meetings everyw­here! Panel all male? Woman inter­rup­ted?
Lack of racial diver­sity? Mode­ra­tor doesn’t call on women in the audi­ence with ques­ti­ons? BINGO! Share each event on social media with the confe­rence hash­tag to shine a spot­light on beha­vi­ours good and bad. There are two boards: one made up of posi­tive events, the other nega­tive. Don’t forget to applaud progress!

This app has been crea­ted by Women4O­ce­ans. How come? Because to save our oceans requi­res the best of everyone! All our voices need to be heard. #W4OBingo is desig­ned to shed light on dismis­sive or inap­pro­pri­ate beha­vi­ours at confe­ren­ces and elsew­here. We hope this tool will help level the playing field and lead to more produc­tive outco­mes at confe­ren­ces. From climate change to over­fis­hing and plas­tic pollu­tion, there really is no time to waste when it comes to our blue planet! This Bingo app is not limi­ted to ocean confe­ren­ces and can be used across all sectors.

The app can be custo­mi­sed for all kings of events, as the hash­tag can be chan­ged.
