Event calendar

General Feedback & Requests

Dear Epic,

I don’t know if anyone has already asked about this but I regularly see your blog posts about attending this and about Talks at that meeting etc.
Unfortunately the blog posts are most of the time at most 2 weeks from the date in question. :frowning:
If the announcements were a bit earlier, I would often really thought about joining here and there and I am not sure about other people and I also don’t have an overview about the smaller events that are taking place all over the world that are still nice to attend.

I know that you at Epic do not plan for such stuff in the long run ( i guess) but it would be really cool to have some kind of calendar about the meetings, events and talks your employees are giving/attending etc.

This would be cool. Is this possible?

Thank you very much in advance

bump Is this not possible at all or does it already exist?

Hey LeFxGuy!

Most of our events are posted with dates in our Events forum. I’ve tossed the idea of a public calendar around, but it’s not simple to implement at this point. Something we might look at in the future however!

Hope that helps!

The thing is that most of the posts in the Events-Forum are only about Twitch Streams or the very large Events like GDC. Something like the Events in Sweden https://www.unrealengine.com/blog/gearing-up-for-unreal-times-at-nordic-game-2015 and SVVR for example https://www.unrealengine.com/blog/innovation-and-ue4-at-svvr-2015 are not posted and especially not early enough to maybe get a chance to visit. Anyway, I just wanted to ask around, maybe posting such events a bit earlier on the UE Blog would be sufficient, too :slight_smile:

Next example:

Why wasn’t there some advertisement before the event started? I mean this was even sponsored by Epic Games (Japan)?

And the events list is also quite clean? http://epicgames.com/events/

Hey LeFxGuy! We typically promote all of our Asia events in the localized feed of our blog. We typically post immediately once all of the details are confirmed, and a lot of times those confirmations come in a bit later (SVVR and Nordic are examples of this).

We’re looking into solutions to get a better timeline of events out to y’all sooner :slight_smile:

Thanks for the feedback!
