Staff from the Unity headquarters team visiting Japan will give the keynote and a Unity Roadmap session. Unity Japan engineers cover CoreCLR migration ahead of Unity 7 in 2027, BIRP to URP, URP lighting, Addressables, AI agent development, XR, and Unity Robotics. Some titles are provisional, and external speaker talks are still to be announced.","whyItMatters":"The CoreCLR and URP migration sessions are aimed at developers who have to move existing projects, which puts the practical cost of the Unity 7 transition on the agenda a year before the release.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe headquarters visit is the part that changes the shape of the day. The keynote and the Unity Roadmap session are both listed under the Unity headquarters team, with the Japan staff filling out the technical track. The Unity 7 talk ties the event to a release scheduled for 2027, and the title frames it as preparation rather than promotion. Two rendering sessions follow the same migration logic, one on moving from BIRP to URP and one on URP lighting. The AI and robotics talks sit outside that arc, and the lineup is explicitly incomplete.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKeynote\u003c/strong\u003e: Unity headquarters team\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUnity Roadmap\u003c/strong\u003e: Unity headquarters team\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Frontline of Content Management in the Unity 6 Era - Addressables and Content Directories\u003c/strong\u003e: Yusuke Kurokawa, Allen Hsu\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrom BIRP to URP - A Complete Guide to the Information Needed for Migration\u003c/strong\u003e: Robin Akira Boucher\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight, Beautiful, and Works in Any Environment: The Frontline of URP Lighting\u003c/strong\u003e: Cal Chiu\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBefore Unity 7 Arrives: How CoreCLR Migration Works and in Practice\u003c/strong\u003e: Akiko Kawai\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen I Left Unity Development to the AI Agents, I Became the Guy Who Doubts Them\u003c/strong\u003e: Issei Takeuchi\u003c/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Is It Always Only Me Who Runs Out of Tokens!?
