SUMMARY:Unreal Engine Meetup: Beyond Games: Previs\, Production & Real-World Applications
DESCRIPTION:Register Now\n\n\n\n\nJoin Fish Flight Entertainment for a discussion exploring how Unreal Engine is being used beyond traditional game development as a real-time creative and production tool across film\, television\, virtual production\, and live experiences. The session brings together perspectives of studio-scale output and technical Unreal practice\, offering insight into how real-time tools are reshaping workflows\, collaboration\, and creative decision-making across multiple industries. \n\n\n\nAbout the Event\n\n\n\nThe evening will open with an introduction to Fish Flight Entertainment\, led by Craig McEwen. Craig will provide context on Fish Flight’s work with Unreal Engine over the past nine years across film\, episodic television\, cinematics\, and real-time pipelines. He will also share his perspective on the studio’s Vancouver roots and expansion into Winnipeg\, and why the local creative and technical community is an important part of Fish Flight’s next phase. \n\n\n\nFollowing a short reel\, Craig will walk through how Unreal is used in practice at Fish Flight\, particularly through previs\, techvis\, stunt planning\, and virtual production and why real-time workflows have become central to modern storytelling and production. \n\n\n\nThe conversation will then shift to process and execution with Kentyn Prybylski\, who will speak to his technical approach to building optimized\, production-ready Unreal environments and cinematics. Kentyn will discuss workflow considerations\, performance\, and how Unreal continues to evolve across games\, animation\, and virtual production. \n\n\n\nThe session will also touch on extended uses of Unreal Engine outside of games and entertainment\, including events\, architecture\, installations\, and experiential design\, followed by an open Q&A and community discussion. \n\n\n\nSupplementary visuals and examples will be shown throughout\, but the session is designed as a presentation and conversation\, rather than a hands-on workshop.**Please note the presentation will take place at the Conference Centre at 201 Portage\, and we will move to StudioLab xR for networking afterwards.**https://201portage.com/amenities/facility-bookings/ \n\n\n\nWhere: 201 Portage AveDoors open: 6 pmPresentation Starts: 6:30 pmNetworking: 7:30 pmClosing: 8 pm \n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nCraig McEwen\n\n\n\nCreative Strategist and Worldbuilder at Fish Flight Entertainment\, working at the intersection of storytelling\, immersive media\, and real-time production. Craig’s background spans film\, games\, and live experiences\, with a focus on building scalable\, emotionally resonant creative systems using Unreal Engine. \n\n\n\nKentyn Prybylski\n\n\n\nAn Unreal Engine artist with a background in game development and professional experience across games\, animation\, and virtual production. Kentyn specializes in technical Unreal workflows\, including optimized environments\, lighting\, cinematics\, procedural systems\, Blueprints\, and virtual camera pipelines. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails

SUMMARY:MBWiTech | virtual lunch & learn workshop about Leading From the Inside Out
DESCRIPTION:Register Today\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nNew goals require more than new strategies\, they require deeper awareness and understanding. \n\n\n\nWomen in tech often navigate complex internal and external pressures: imposter syndrome\, visibility challenges\, perfectionism\, and unspoken expectations around leadership\, confidence\, and communication. \n\n\n\nThis workshop focuses on understanding the internal patterns that shape how women show up at work. How we lead\, communicate\, make decisions\, and set boundaries\, particularly in environments where credibility\, visibility\, and confidence are constantly tested. \n\n\n\nRather than starting with external behaviours\, participants will explore what’s happening beneath the surface: the assumptions\, motivations\, and habits that influence everything from delegation and collaboration to confidence and credibility. \n\n\n\nThrough practical psychological frameworks\, participants will gain insight into why leadership challenges show up differently for each person and how self-awareness becomes a powerful tool for sustainable growth\, clarity\, and confidence in tech careers. \n\n\n\nParticipants will: \n\n\n\n\nExplore the internal drivers behind behaviour\, confidence\, and communication in tech environments\n\n\n\nLearn practical models that support meaningful self-awareness and professional growth\n\n\n\nExamine leadership challenges such as: delegation\, decision-making\, and assertive communication\, through the lens of challenges women commonly experience in tech roles\n\n\n\nIdentify internal patterns that support or interfere with visibility\, influence\, and career progression\n\n\n\nSet intentions for the year grounded in self-awareness rather than pressure\, comparison\, or unrealistic expectations often placed on women in tech\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker bio: \n\n\n\nTamara Kroeker is a coach\, facilitator\, and speaker specializing in self-awareness and relational intelligence in the workplace. After more than a decade as an elementary music teacher\, Tamara shifted her focus to leadership development and professional coaching. Her work centers on connection-based leadership\, supporting professionals to lead with understanding\, authenticity\, and trust. At the core of her work is the belief that personal growth is organizational growth. Every shift in awareness strengthens not just the individual but the culture around them. Your strongest team starts with a better understanding of YOU.  \n\n\n\n=== \n\n\n\nManitoba Women in Tech (#MBWiTech) is a community for women and gender-diverse folks working in tech\, along with our allies. Whether you’re a developer\, designer\, founder\, project manager\, student\, or just tech-curious: this space is for you.Our events and workshops are agenda-free\, judgement-free\, and all about genuine connection.  \n\n\n\nMBWiTech is made possible through the support of three non profit organizations across Manitoba’s tech ecosystem. New Media Manitoba\, North Forge\, and Tech Manitoba\, who have come together to build a community of connection\, learning\, and inclusion. \n\n\n\n\nRegister Here\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDetails\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue

SUMMARY:AI Visualization to Unreal Engine
DESCRIPTION:This is a 2-day virtual training session totaling 6 hours. \n\n\n\nYour ticket is valid for both days — no need to register twice! \n\n\n\nSchedule: Saturday\, September 27\, and Sunday\, September 28 — 10 AM to 1 PM CDT \n\n\n\nThe details to join will be sent to those registered in advance of Sept 27th.This immersive workshop introduces a cutting-edge AI-to-Unreal Engine workflow that enables participants to render custom 3D scenes in any visual style from Photorealism to Anime using a combination of Blender\, Stable Diffusion\, and Unreal Engine. \n\n\n\nThe core of this workflow involves generating depth maps from Blender and using ControlNet to guide AI-generated imagery\, which is then integrated into Unreal Engine for real-time scene visualization. \n\n\n\nWhat You’ll Learn: \n\n\n\n\nBuild a 3D environment using primitive shapes and array modifiers in Blender\n\n\n\nCreate a depth map using Blender nodes\n\n\n\nUse Stable Diffusion + ControlNet to generate AI-driven images\n\n\n\nImport AI-generated images into Unreal Engine as custom map materials\n\n\n\nExport 3D environments from Blender into Unreal and create multiple styled versions in minutes\n\n\n\n\nFULL VPN ACCESS – We know that one of the biggest barriers to entry when learning Unreal Engine is having a machine that can keep up. With that in mind\, we are happy to offer VPN access to a 4090 workstation with registration for this course. Just login on your local machine and have all the benefits of a production-ready computer. \n\n\n\nNo prior experience required – This course is beginner-friendly and open to anyone curious about AI and 3D workflows.
