We’re back — this time with a special focus on game audio in Unreal Engine!

Whether you're a sound designer, composer, audio programmer, or just curious about how sound and music shape the player experience, this meetup is for you. Join us for an inspiring evening of talks, demos, and discussions all centered around audio techniques in Unreal Engine. Learn how industry professionals approach interactive sound, spatial audio, and implementation workflows — and how to bring your own projects to the next level.

There will be time to network, mingle, and enjoy free drinks — but tickets are required (and yes, it’s still free!).

This event is hosted in collaboration between Game Audio Denmark and Unreal Developers Denmark, uniting two creative communities for one shared mission: to explore the power of sound in game development.

Thanks
