The annual Unity Developer Day conference tour is returning to New York City — join us for an exciting day of development talks, games, and more at Unity Developer Day: New York this September 8th!

Unity Developer Day is a conference series dedicated to supporting local developers through the exchange of stories and skills that promote the creation of successful Unity games and interactive media.

Our New York edition brings together local game creators and Unity staff to share their expertise through two full-day conference tracks, networking lunch, and showcase of local games and projects made with Unity.

They’ll cover topics like Unity’s Entity Component System / C# Job System, Shader Graph, Machine Learning, Scriptable Render Pipeline, Photogrammetry, & more!

Local speakers will share experiences and insights gained throughout the creation of their Unity games – be it through programming, design, art, audio, business, and more.
