Welcome to our first Ballarat Game Development meetup outside of StartUp Ballarat!

This will be the first of our monthly meetups, which will aim to bring us together on a regular basis, to keep everyone in contact, share what we're all up to, get help if needed, offer opportunities and of course, show off our latest projects.

We have set 6:30pm as the starting time, but the official part of the evening won't start until around 7pm, to allow everyone enough time to get there and get settled.

This meetup is all around getting things started. Whether that be a new project, idea or even a regular meetup series. One of the most important things when getting people interested in a new idea is how you pitch it. With that in mind, we have Casey Thomas from Dark Shadow Studios coming in to discuss her experiences in pitching ideas, along with recommendations on what you should do to prepare for pitching to someone.

We will also have updates from the City of Ballarat around hat is coming up in Ballarat, and (I hope) an update on the status of the Creative Coworking space.

There will also be networking opportunities after the official talks are done, so please feel free to stick around afterwards.
