Liverpool Unreal Engine Meetup

Unreal Engine is one of the world’s most open and advanced real-time 3D tools, attracting creators across games, film, television, art, architecture, automotive, advertising and live events. content, interactive experiences, and immersive virtual worlds

We are an informal group who want to have somewhere real to go to and not just online, to share some of the things we are making and would like to make. This is a space to get inspired, collaborate, get help, find talent or share work.

There will be talks, discussions and social time to meet with fellow users. All are welcome, from very experienced users and newcomers looking to get started with Unreal. We hope to meet regularly so ideas welcome.

As this is our first meeting, we want to find out what you would like to see, so please let us know in the comments below.
