    Not to burst your bubble or anything, but these events are little more than tech demos and an open bar.

    Granted, they're decent networking opportunities and you can meet some industry heavyweights (I met Peter Molyneux a few years ago at a similar EA event, to name-drop shamelessly), but just remember that a lot of people go purely to meet up with former colleagues and get drunk on Autodesk's dime.

    Still, they're usually pretty interesting and maybe you can get your work into the right hands. Have fun, but don't drink too much - you never know who you'll spill your drink on.

    edit: Completely misread the time of the event, in which case I'd imagine an open bar is extremely unlikely.
