UGCunion.org is a group of people who want to put on fun events that make things which improve our society.

We are inspired by all the other cool stuff that is happening in the world right now and are experimenting with people like you in order to find the best way to do this using our diverse skills.

If you like what you see then help out by adding to this site and coming to the next event (if you take part in the events you can get in for free) or creating your own.
