SUMMARY:Unreal Engine Meetup:
DESCRIPTION:Register Now\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nJoin us for a conversation with HaZ Dulull. HaZ has spent several decades working across games\, VFX\, film\, and television. His directing credits span indie features that have streamed on Netflix\, as well as projects he executive-produced and directed for Disney+. A pioneer of real-time filmmaking in Unreal Engine\, he has also directed content inside Fortnite and cinematic sequences for major titles including Evil Genius 2 (Rebellion) and Dune: Awakening (Funcom). \n\n\n\nBuilding on this cross-industry expertise\, HaZ founded Beyond The Pixels®\, a studio dedicated to developing original and licensed game IP designed for expansion into film\, TV\, and UGC through a transmedia approach. \n\n\n\nThe studio’s debut indie title\, Astro Burn\, is a modern-retro side-scrolling shoot ’em up launching across PC\, Mac\, mobile\, and consoles. Packed with arcade chaos\, slick pixel art\, and a sci-fi mystery at its core\, Astro Burn represents both HaZ’s passion for retro-inspired gaming and his vision for future-facing\, multi-platform IP. Underscoring this transmedia mission\, an animated TV series adaptation of Astro Burn was announced in Deadline and is already in development\, positioning Beyond The Pixels at the forefront of games -driven storytelling. \n\n\n\nWhere: New Media Manitoba’s StudioLab xRDoors open: 6 pmPresentation Starts: 6:30 pmQ&A: 7:15 pmClosing: 8 pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails

SUMMARY:MBWiTech: Reputation Risk Management - How Your Digital Footprint Shapes Your Personal and Professional Brand
DESCRIPTION:Register Here\n\n\n\nBecome a MBWiTech member\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nManitoba Women In Tech (#MBWiTech) is calling all women and allies in technology! \n\n\n\nVirtual Event \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOverview:In today’s hyperconnected world\, what people discover about you online is your brand. Whether you’re a tech entrepreneur\, a corporate leader\, or an early-career professional\, your digital presence can either open doors or close them. Nicole Harris\, Founder & CEO of Solv Communications\, a Reputation Management and PR agency\, will show you how women in tech can shape their own narrative for success. \n\n\n\nLet’s face it\, perception shapes opportunities and the way we are seen influences promotion\, projects and leadership roles. Instead of allowing others to define us\, we must take control of our own narrative and actively manage our reputation online and offline. \n\n\n\nAgenda:11:45 am – NetworkingNoon – Indigenous Land Acknowledgement & Welcome12:05 pm – Nicole’s presentation12:30 pm – Q & A12:45 pm – Networking1:15 pm – All done! \n\n\n\nObjectiveBy the end of this talk\, you will learn: \n\n\n\n\nHow your online presence influences your career and brand.\n\n\n\nStrategies to safeguard your digital and real-world reputation.\n\n\n\nLessons from successful women in tech who have shaped their own success stories.\n\n\n\n\nWhy this MattersDid you know that 70% of employers and clients research professionals online before making hiring or partnership decisions? That means that before you even walk into an interview\, pitch a project\, or apply for a job\, people have already formed an impression of you based on what they see online. \n\n\n\nWomen in tech often have to work harder to establish credibility. This means that how we present ourselves online can directly impact on our opportunities and professional trajectory. A single misstep – a controversial post\, an outdated profile\, or an unguarded comment – can have lasting consequences. \n\n\n\nNicole Harris of Solv Communications will show you how your online presence influences your career and brand.
