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.
Expert Unity evangelists and staff will give talks focused on how local developers can get the most out of their work with Unity and its services. 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.

Seattle? Montreal? Why is E3 held in Los Angeles? Those places hardly compare to New York City, the mecca of innovative creators, risk takers, and go getters. Diversity, technology, and art all intersect and thrive in this magical place; so why is New York often cast to the side within the gaming industry? Why aren’t we recognized more for the cultural impacts our major players make?
Join us as we delve into the complex realities of New York City’s gaming industry. From the five boroughs and beyond, we’ll discuss what it is like for developers, players, and publishers to work, thrive, and succeed in the greatest city in the world.
Panelists TBA.
