Unity × Photon
Developer Day

Level up

What happens when you put Unity and Photon engineers in the same room? A no-fluff, deep-dive day for the people actually shipping games — iteration times, Unity AI, graphics, serverless multiplayer, and a first look at Photon’s new MMO tech.

A curated day built for lead developers, technical directors, CTOs and senior Unity engineers. Pure tech, no sales. Seats are limited.

Who’s in the room

62 engineers from 35 studios are approved so far — among them 18 founders and C-level, 8 technical and game directors, and 11 leads and principals. The bigger the name, the more people that studio is bringing.

Plus 6 engineers from Unity and 15 from Photon — the people giving the talks, in the room all day and at the mixer.

Registration is subject to approval, so this still moves. Three guests come independently rather than on behalf of a studio.

Agenda

The session running right now is marked. Past sessions stay in the list, dimmed. The panel at the top steps through the same list with the arrows, or a sideways swipe.
