Restarting the Engine - Meetup November

Denmark has been without Unreal Engine Meetups for too long! We have a great Unity community, but it’s long overdue that people interested in Unreal Engine can hangout and share knowledge and inspiration!

Calling all Unreal Engine enthusiasts in Denmark! Join us for an exciting evening of knowledge sharing, networking, and inspiration at our inaugural Unreal Engine Meetup. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just getting started with Unreal, this event offers a unique opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and learn from industry experts. Featuring talks on modern UI development and performance optimization in UE5, this meetup is set to kickstart a vibrant Unreal Engine community in Denmark. Don't miss this chance to level up your skills and be part of something new!

A special thanks to Bitfire Games for sponsoring drinks, providing a speaker and for helping organizing the event. Also a huge thanks to Raw Power Games for providing a speaker and helping with transport and organization. Lastly Andreas Nøhr & The Royal Danish Academy for providing us with their contact and access to their Auditorium

Talk II:
Leveling Up Performance: Building Faster Games in UE5
Discover how we significantly enhanced our medieval game's performance in Unreal Engine 5 by developing our custom framework, Midgard. I'll share the challenges and improvements we faced along the way to provide insights into the future of game development.

Passionate people for future events
We plan on organizing these meetups at least four times a year, so if you have something to showcase, a workflow you are passionate about or a certain way you love to work with Unreal Engine, feel free to reach out! Nothing is too big or small, and it doesn't necessarily have to be game related - as long as it's Unreal related!

Spread the Word
With Unreal Meetups, we aim to create an environment where we can share experiences, network, and, most importantly, enjoy game development together. You can help us spread the word by printing our event poster and hanging it up at your workplace or educational institution.
