Join us as we reinvigorate the Unreal Los Angeles community with our Welcome Back Meetup! After a long hiatus, we're excited to gather both old friends and new faces to celebrate the creativity in LA's Unreal Engine community.
Kick off the evening with introductions from our event hosts, Fermata and CG Pro, as they set the stage for the future of the community. Following the introductions, we invite you to showcase your work and engage in feedback sessions that are sure to spark creativity and innovation.
Enjoy light refreshments while you connect with fellow Unreal enthusiasts, exchange ideas, and build lasting relationships that could be the cornerstone of your next creative project. Don't miss this chance to ignite your passion and collaborate with like-minded artists, developers, and creators.
Let's come together, share our visions, and embrace the boundless possibilities of Unreal Engine in the heart of Los Angeles. See you there!
