Really excited about this one. Are you a creative technologist, director, designer, 3D artist, or writer who makes interactive or immersive stories (or do you want to)?

You should apply for our event on February 27 in Cupertino. (Or check out the live stream!)

At some point, if all goes well, you stop taking pride in arcane knowledge about niche topics and you start taking pleasure in sharing your passion with as many people who are obviously interested as possible.

Such a nice li’l starter pack for folks in the Apple dev/design community who are migrating here!

It's a little echoey still in here but the vibes are pretty nice
