We will be present in seven European cities this October and we can’t wait to connect with you while in town. Alongside our activities we will have indie booths at multiple game conferences with over 50 Unreal Engine games on display as we help European devs show off their games to press, the public and the entire industry.
You are welcome to join one of our many events and chat with us at any time as we are here to support and help you however we can!

CZEŚĆ WARSAW!
Our major presence in Poland starts off with an Unreal Engine Mixer in the capital city of Poland, Warsaw, on October 9!
In partnership with the Warsaw Unreal Engine Meetup group, we are inviting you to join us for talks, soft drinks, snacks and free beer! In Warsaw you can also meet up with Sjoerd De Jong and Roman Goroshkin as you network with us throughout the night. Please do RSVP for our Unreal Mixer here, as the spots are limited .
CZEŚĆ POZNAŃ!
After Warsaw, Sjoerd and Roman will travel to Poznan where they will be present at two major events. You can meet us at PGA, October 12-14, and visit our large and prominent booth with 24 pods as Unreal developers display their projects to public and press. If you’re in attendance, please stop by and say hello to your fellow devs and our team!
You can also meet us at GIC and visit our talks October 12-14. Our friends from Fool’s Theory will be giving a talk on ‘Storytelling Tools Development for an RPG Game in UE4’ and you can also visit two more talks by Sjoerd, including the very first look at his new in-depth Blueprint class, which is described below:
In this advanced talk Epic's Sjoerd De Jong will go into detail on how to use Blueprint in a future proof and scalable way. Best practices, dos and donts, and recommendations on how to utilize BP to its full potential. Collaboration topics, C++/BP workflow, as well as recommendations regarding Blueprint compilation, run-time performance, and its impact on memory. He will go over crucial but rarely covered topics with the goal of leveling up attendees who already have working knowledge of Blueprint to the point where they are fully proficient in our unique language and all of its finer details.
To pick out the talks you would like to attend, please view the GIC agenda here.
We are looking forward to catching up with y’all in Poland!
