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.
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 UXCON’26 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 UXCON’26, you’ll meet the product managers who question assumptions, the engineers who turn sketches into systems, and the designers who translate chaos into clarity. Together, we’ll design the future — not in silos, but side by side.
