Meta AR Workshop & Happy Hour Boston

Join Meta in Boston!

We are bringing together AR/VR developers, designers, enthusiasts, researchers, engineers, seasoned mentors, and uber talented Meta engineers for a two day Unity & Meta SDK workshop followed by a happy hour party. This is a great opportunity to learn about augmented reality and the future of computing, and network with like-minded peers.

Happy Hour Party

Friday, September 25 from 6-9pm - open to everyone interested in Meta and AR/VR. Check out all the Augmented Reality apps built during the workshop over open bar and appetizers. Space is limited. 

Workshop & Hackathon 

Thursday and Friday, September 24 and 25, 9am to 6pm each day. This is your opportunity to work 1-1 with Unity experts for two full days to develop an AR/VR application in Unity. In just two days you will have a proof-of-concept AR/VR app in Unity to present at the party on Friday night.
