Inspire & Connect

At UXCON26, you’ll meet the ux professionals that are leading the charge, product managers who question assumptions, the engineers who turn sketches into systems. Together, we’ll design — not in silos, but side by side.

Big thanks to our great sponsors from

This is where we talk, think, laugh, and learn together. Where inspiration flows through conversations, not just keynotes. Where connections last far beyond conference halls.

Don Norman is coming to UXCON26

And he’s bringing the roots of our profession back to life.

The godfather of user experience

Next year October, he’s joining UXCON26 to reignite the conversation about the essence of our craft — where it began, where it’s headed, and how we can thrive today.

Last year, we inspired and connected. This year, we go deeper — exploring how true collaboration shapes better experiences. Because UX has never been a solo act,
it’s a team sport.

At UXCON26, you’ll meet a network of people that will change your career for the better.

Voices That Moved the Room

Let’s honor the voices that shaped the conversations that still echo today.
UXCON’25 wasn’t just a lineup — it was a movement of minds. Every speaker brought a spark that set the stage for the revolution we’re continuing in 2026.

Why UXCON26 Is One of the Best UX Conferences to attend in 2025
