Unreal LA: Across the Industries

After last month's event, we hope you'll join us again for an evening to celebrate Unreal Across Industries, where we'll explore the ways that Unreal Engine is transforming film, gaming, and interactive.

We'll begin with the usual announcements and then break out into small groups based on industry where participants can share their experiences and insights. Attendees are, again, encouraged to bring their demos and VR headsets for a hands-on sharing session where everyone can see each others' work firsthand.

We are still exploring food and drink options, but for now, RSVP! Don't miss out on a chance to enjoy the festivities this March.
