Unity Ads is the ad monetization solution for mobile games from Unity Technologies. It enables mobile game developers to monetize their entire player base, via ads that are native to Unity-based games. As a Unity Senior Dev Advocate, Matt Dondelinger is an expert in monetization and he shares his perspective on Aerospike, which powers the real-time data that helps players make better decisions. He’ll also share his viewpoint on the Future of Gaming and how connecting with the Developer Relations team at Aerospike has created new opportunities to educate and connect with developers to build better.
