3Lateral, Epic Games & the SGA are bringing back the third, expanded UED experience, which brought together 500 creatives last October!
This is an international event bringing together junior and senior professionals, students and all others interested in the latest developments and applications of the Unreal Engine.
It gathers gaming professionals from the wider regions of CEE, Adriatic, and the Balkans, as well as some of the leading European experts, decision-makers and game dev ecosystem stakeholders.
The premiere edition was held in April 2022, while the follow-up in May 2023 attracted 500+ professionals from Serbia, the wider region and from across Europe, including keynote speakers from the US. UNREAL DAY is organized by the Serbian Games Association, powered by Epic Games and 3Lateral.
The Serbian game dev, CG and affiliated communities are taking bold steps towards becoming the most vibrant community in this part of the world – when it comes to talent and projects related to the use of UNREAL ENGINE.
This extended one-day professional event brings together the present and the future UE pioneers – across disciplines!
