The Fortnite Team
Wouldn’t it be cool if there was somewhere that UEFN and Fortnite creators could get together, hang out, and learn from a bunch of amazing presentations? Well…now there is!
Unreal Fest is an annual event that brings together developers and creators across all industries. From inspiring talks on how the coolest new projects were made to fascinating sessions that teach you new skills, it’s a creative festival of thought leadership, hands-on training, and networking.
This year, the event is taking place in New Orleans on October 3-5, and we’re introducing a whole track of content for UEFN and Fortnite Creative.
This event is jam packed with inspirational content— the opening session from Epic will provide exciting information about the Fortnite Ecosystem and the UEFN roadmap, and there will be 32 UEFN, Creative, and Verse-focused sessions, in addition to hands-on labs and networking opportunities.
