HPC @ Blender
Thu, May 7 · 4:30 PM CEST
Blender Institute, Buikslotermeerplein 161, Amsterdam, ak, NL
Every 2 months, we'll visit a company or institute that will host the event and provide talks.

This time, we’re visiting Blender. Blender is a public project hosted on blender.org with the mission to get the world’s best 3D CG technology in the hands of artists as free/open source software. Blender is licensed as GNU GPL, owned by its contributors.

Countless communities and thriving businesses are built around Blender, from entertainment to medical research. Together, content creators, add-on developers, researchers and global marketplaces form an ever-expanding ecosystem.

For those who visited the previous meetups, you already know what to expect: deep dives into technical subjects, snacks and drinks, and enough time to socialize.

You don’t need to register in advance for the office tours, they will be organised on the spot in small groups.

Due to the small size of the office the registrations are limited to 35 people only, so please register in advance to secure your spot.
And a friendly request - please no more than 5 people from the same company. Thank you!

See you there!
