Unite 2019

In our Unite Now blog a few weeks ago, we announced that Unity would not be hosting a physical event this year and that instead, Unite 2020 would be completely digital. Since that post we’ve received a lot of questions, so we wanted to take a moment to bring everyone up-to-speed on the details we know today.

Unite 2020 will be a digital-only event (late September/early October).

We are working through various creative solutions to deliver the content our Unity community loves to experience like speaker sessions and hands-on learning. We’ll also maintain some of the key ingredients of Unite, like our Expert Bar, “meet the devs” and networking. New experiences will also be added. In true Unity fashion, we will collaborate with our partners and the game dev community to help deliver this content.

Unity will sponsor non-Unity events, but will not physically participate for the remainder of the year.

Unity will still sponsor industry events in 2020 and will support the sponsorships with digital content and experiences, including our Unite Now platform.

We will consider executing in-person Unity events when deemed safe and appropriate.

This includes things like Developer Days, sales hospitality meetings, VIP dinners, and thought-leadership events. We will continue to add smaller virtual events to meet these needs until we get back to our normal state of event programming.

We know there is no perfect replacement for in-person meetings, events or experiences. We believe that by focusing on digital direct channels and engagement we’ll be able to continue supporting communities and building rapport with industry events/organizations, our customers and community.

Check back often for updates. We look forward to staying connected with all of you.
