Design conference that’s not about buzzwords, but collaboration between designers.

The theme of the conference on March 2-3 2020 is collaboration between UX, UI and content designers. We've invited amazing speakers with experience working at Transport for London, OpenTable, The Paciello Group, Nike, Shopify, 1Password, Government Digital Service, Airbnb, InVision and others.

Whilst it’s popular to talk about the latest trends, our conferences have been focusing on what we think is the most challenging part of design – communication between each other: internal company politics, presenting value of design and speaking the same language with different stakeholders.

The event is organised by The School of UX and kindly supported by SumUp and Sketch. For more details please visit theuxconf.com. Watch highlights video from our September 2018 conference held at iconic Design Museum, and highlights video from our February 2019 conference held at historic Tobacco Dock. Any questions – just email us at team@theuxconf.com.
