Startup Events in Sacramento

Come hang out with the Sacramento Developer Collective for a casual meetup with other local game developers and creatives! Bring your laptop, a project you’re working on, or just yourself. There are no presentations or structured activities—just a chance to work on your game, show off what you’ve been making, get feedback, meet other developers, and chat about games and game development. Programmers, artists, designers, composers, writers, students, hobbyists, and anyone interested in game development are welcome. You don’t need to be working on a project to attend. Grab a coffee, pull up a chair, and hang out with the Sacramento game dev community.

This is a collab event with Le Love Club, a social club that curates events and facilitates connection for love in all its forms.

Join Dr. Paul Eastwick, Professor of Psychology at UC Davis, head of the Social-Personality Psychology program, and director of the Attraction and Relationships Research Laboratory, for a scientific look at what Hollywood gets right—and wrong—about love. Rom-coms and romantic films have given us some of our most enduring ideas about attraction: love strikes like a bolt of lightning, women want commitment more than men, and somewhere out there is the perfect person just waiting to be found.

Drawing on decades of relationship research, Paul will explore what we actually know about how attraction develops, who seeks out relationships, and whether lasting love is more about finding the perfect match—or creating one over time. Along the way, we’ll put films like Sleepless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Barbie, Materialists, and La La Land under the microscope to see where Hollywood romance aligns with real relationship science…and where it takes a few creative liberties. Paul Eastwick is a Professor of Psychology at UC Davis, where he heads the Social-Personality Psychology program and directs the Attraction and Relationships Research Laboratory. He is the author of Bonded by Evolution: The New Science of Love and Connection and co-host of the Love Factually podcast, where he and longtime collaborator Eli Finkel analyze rom-coms and romantic dramas through the lens of

Join the Sacramento Developer Collective at the Enlightenment Salon for a conversation about the current state of the video game industry and Sacramento’s own game development community. Two local game developers will share their experiences working in and around the industry, discussing the challenges developers face today, the opportunities available to independent creators, and what makes Sacramento’s game development scene unique. We’ll also look at some of the games and studios in the region and what the future could hold for the local community. Whether you’re a professional developer, an aspiring creator, a student, an avid player, or simply curious about the people making games in Sacramento, this talk offers a look behind the scenes at an often-overlooked part of the region’s creative community.
