This is an international event bringing together professionals interested in the latest developments and applications of Unreal Engine.
We bring together the local, regional and internation UE communities, we share knowledge, network and matchmake amazing people, showcase ground-breaking projects and celebrate the power and beauty that UNREAL helps to unleash.
ALL THINGS UNREAL – ALL DAY LONG!
Following the major developments of Unreal Engine over the past years, and the wider adoption of the tool in our surrounding, covering many different creative-tech spheres, SGA decided to create a meeting point for the community that is already using the tool, as well as for all those interested to do it in the future.
Serbia has a lot to offer when it comes to talent, both creative and technological, and we wish to showcase this to the world. We would also like to welcome global industry leaders, and develop a dialogue.
We have always been open to our peers across the region, and we wanto to engage with them even deeper.
We would like to see Serbia as the hotspot of UE production and talent in the future, and this event is one of the instruments in achieving and nurturing that situation.
UNREAL DAY is organized by the Serbian Games Association, with sponsorship from 3Lateral, which is part of Epic Games.
Unreal Day is an independent, third-party event NOT organized directly by Epic Games.
However, the event is sponsored by Epic Games and 3Lateral, as the main partners. The program is also co-curated by 3Lateral. Other industry partners also do get involved.
On the other hand, Unreal Fest events are organized directly by Epic Games and their teams, and have a global coverage and reach, with events spanning several continents and taking place throughout the year.
Check Epic Games events page for more information.
With the origins of 3Lateral and, to a large extent, the MetaHuman technology rooted in Serbia, there has consequently been a significant presence of Epic Games in our country in recent years.
What has become clear is that one of the most exciting and motivated UE communities in Europe and this part of the world is thriving in Serbia.
With the combined efforts of SGA, 3Lateral/Epic Games as well as other initiatives and academic partners, a plentitude of workshops, mentoring programs and events involving UE are taking place throughout the year, bridging disciplines and connection professionals.
All the while, Epic Games Novi Sad educational hub is attracting global attention with the quality of the projects that young creators are producing there.
Some of the veterans of the global industry visit Serbia from time to time to use the local services, which are in some domains among the best in the world.
In between all this, and beyond game development, Serbia is a powerhouse for cinematic production and post-production, animation and various VFX services. Not to mention the production of movies and TV shows.
With everything combined, you can only imagine the energy buzzing in this creative powerhouse. Our goal is to add as many logs to the fire as possible, to make it burn even brighter and to bring in friends, colleagues and peers to join us for the ride.
All the while, the Epic Games R&D facility in Novi Sad is under construction.
We are convinced that we have just scratched the surface!
Registration is mandatory for all of the participants.
Please visit our Register page.
You can buy tickets until the day before the event.
Unreal Day is first and foremost an open and inclusive event. In our first editions, we provided a lot to the community, together with our partners.
30+ lectures, 15+ workshops and much more content.
We also strive to respond accordingly to different parts of our audience, as well as to grow the event into the hotspot for Unreal talent in this part of Europe, and the world.
This is why we need to:
a) invest in deep-dive programs which will respond to more specific needs
b) start creating a platform in which professionals can exchange on a peer level and form new creative alliances
All this comes at a cost, and thus we introduced charged tickets which offers more technical workshops. We have also done this in order to keep, and even push forward the overall quality of our event.
The official language of the event is English.
There will definitely be a party to round up the conference day!
Stay tuned for the location reveal!
