Meet Unreal Engine / Epic Games evangelist Sjoerd De Jong

Thursday May 31st, 6:30pm - DIT School of Media, Aungier St

Unreal Engine / Epic Games evangelist Sjoerd De Jong will be giving a talk where he builds a game from scratch using UE4. You may already know Sjoerd as Hourences if you are familiar with his talks and tutorials. This is a great opportunity to learn some new tricks and is suitable for developers of all levels.

Tickets are free and after the talk we will move to a nearby pub for the opportunity to chat to Sjoerd. Please reserve a ticket here if you want to attend so we have an idea of numbers.

Many thanks to Imirt, DIT School of Media, and Epic Games for making this possible.

Note: if you are in Galway on Wed May 30th you will also find Sjoerd at the Galway Games Development meetup which is happening the day before he speaks in Dublin.
