UNREAL HAMBURG - JANUARY
Details
Unreal Engine Meetup Hamburg // January Edition // We're Back!
New year, same obsession. Whether you spent 2025 shipping projects, debugging blueprints at 3am, or explaining that no, you're not "just playing video games".. we see you!
What's happening? A mixer to kick off 2026. No fixed theme, just good conversations about what you shipped, what failed spectacularly, and what's next. Content generation, capture, blending real with virtual.. bring whatever you've been working on.
Who's invited? Everyone. Veterans, students, artists, devs, curious gamers. If Unreal makes you excited, you belong here.
Want to share? 2 speaker slots (15 min) and exhibition space available. No polish required, just something you are passionate about. Apply on Discord: https://discord.gg/jZXww5hK
Thanks to VRHQ Hamburg and Bizzlogic for hosting. Still looking for food & drink sponsors

Hosted By
Fatih Inan, Community Organizer
I'm an Unreal Engine enthusiast and CTO at Bizzlogic who's been neck-deep in real-time 3D since 2014. Over the past decade, I've had my hands in pretty much every flavor of Unreal projects you can imagine: VR, AR, virtual production, tradeshows, visualizations, multiplayer games, and platform development. If it renders in real-time, I've probably tinkered with it.
What gets me excited is being that bridge person between designers, technical artists, and developers. I speak all three languages (sometimes simultaneously, much to everyone's confusion). These days, my focus has shifted toward building scalable products with Unreal and implementing AI-powered pipelines that actually make sense for production environments, not just demos that look cool in keynotes.
I'm also a big believer in community. Pre-pandemic, I hosted meetups, and I still regularly speak on panels and run workshops because sharing knowledge is half the fun.
I've also helped businesses navigate the "should we use Unreal Engine?" question... spoiler: sometimes the answer is yes, sometimes it's "let's talk about your actual needs first."
Basically, I turn ambitious ideas into practical solutions, one blueprint node at a time. Nice to meet you!
