Imagining a better world at the Unity for Humanity Summit

On October 12, the Unity for Humanity Summit will once again take place virtually to celebrate creators who are using real-time 3D (RT3D) for social impact. Join us for a full day of inspiring sessions, hands-on workshops, and interactive networking opportunities led by visionary creators and social impact entrepreneurs. Registration is free and open to all.

Unity creators are using RT3D to change the world. Through their creativity, we see new possibilities and opportunities for a healthier, more equitable, inclusive, and sustainable society every day. The theme for this year’s event is “Imagining a better world,” inspired by the incredible social impact work of Unity creators and the latest song “Imagine” by award-winning artist, actor, author, and activist, Common.

Since the inaugural Unity for Humanity Summit in October 2020, we have awarded more than $2.5 million to support current and future social impact creators who are building RT3D experiences that have a positive and meaningful impact on society and the planet through the Unity for Humanity program and the Unity Charitable Fund. We are thrilled to once again gather with creators, activists, nonprofit and business leaders to celebrate and collaborate on making real-world, global change using RT3D. 

This year’s virtual event is jam-packed with engaging conversations, workshops, and networking opportunities. Through the variety of sessions, you can discover new tools for creation, evolve your technical skill set, and connect with others to expand your social impact work and achieve your vision for a better reality. You’ll hear directly from changemakers on how they are fostering access to inclusive education and economic opportunities, building consciousness and promoting more sustainable actions, and improving healthcare outcomes, among other dynamic initiatives.
