UnrealPDX - Monthly Meetup

Let's get together at Lucky Lab on Hawthorne for some food, drinks & Unreal chat! This meetup will be a good opportunity to discuss the future of UnrealPDX and what we can do to grow in 2017. As usual, bring your stories and talk shop with fellow Unreal devs. If you have ideas for growing the meetup in 2017, bring those too! (Shout out to those of you who filled out our recent survey - thanks!)

If you're new to Unreal Engine 4, this is a great way to meet experienced developers and get a feel for both the tools and the community.

Hope to see you there!
