Unreal Engine is going to be at GDC in a big way, and we hope to see you there! Attendees will be the first to play a number oustanding Unreal Engine games, go hands on with the editor, interact with a number of our top community members, and get some one-on-one time with the Unreal Engine team.
In addition to the talks mentioned earlier, we'll also have a sponsored theater (Moscone West #2024) hosting a number of exciting talks from Epic's senior talent and a public theater in our booth (Moscone South #1024) where developers will find presentations and demonstrations from Epic and our partners. Expect a range of subjects to be covered throughout the week, all which will be livestreamed to Twitch and recorded for later viewing.
