Event Agenda (Friday, October 16, 2026)

• 17:00Doors Open & Networking | Arrival, casual chats, and cold drinks.

• 19:00 - Main Technical Sessions | Technical deep-dive

  • Konstantinos Kitsaras - Technical Artist & Look Dev | Unreal Engine | Real-Time
    Session Title : Real-Time: Automotive LookDev in Unreal Engine
    In this session, we will explore how to achieve high-end, photorealistic automotive visuals in Unreal Engine by moving from traditional VFX to real-time pipelines. I will break down why real-time 3D engineering provides total control, repeatability, and precision. Attendees will learn practical workflows for camera setups, Lumen lighting, and scene optimization based on real-world projects.

• 19:50 - Interactive Q&A | Deep-dive discussion with the speakers.

• 20:10 - Industry Showcases & Open Mic | Project showcases and community announcements.

  • Giulia Isabel Pomponi - Student at SAE Institute- Game Art & 3D Animation / QA Tester
    Session Title: My Bachelor Project from Conception to Execution
    In this session, I will be discussing the process of creating a proof of concept animated short film for my bachelors thesis. I will quickly go through the production phases, giving particular attention to the compositing which was done in UE, as well as my future plans for the project.

  • Teo Lo Piparo - Founder of Local Expedition Organizer OÜ
    Session Title: An embeddable C++ engine for interactive vector graphics, animation and UI.
    In this session, Leo-Engine is a timeline-based 2D document/canvas. Procedural geometry, programmable brushes, and shader effects feed that document; they do not replace it. Design graphics that are ready to run. Leo is a runtime-native graphics authoring system for animated, procedural and interactive experiences. Build timelines, vector assets, GPU effects, brushes and state-machine interactions in one authoring environment, and ship the same underlying graphics to the web, native applications, and embedded runtimes. No handoff. No second document model. No redraw of the runtime version.

• 21:00 - Networking & Beer | Open end to connect, share ideas, and enjoy music. 🎶🍻

We are looking for speakers!

• The Technical Deep-Dive (25 min): A session focused on "how-to," optimization, Blueprints/C++, new engine features, or a full product\service utilizing Unreal.

• The Industry Showcase (15 min): A look at a local project, whether it's an indie game, an automotive configurator, or a stunning piece of ArchViz.

Why speak? Share your knowledge and gain visibility for your studio or personal brand, and help grow our local ecosystem.
