We live in a world where the user knows when a product experience is good. This keeps UX designers and researchers on their toes, so they know better than most how to stay ahead of the curve. But how do they do it?

UX events. That's it; we're not kidding. It's that easy. And it's your lucky day, too, because we've made it even more effortless for you to find the suitable event for your skill.

Keeping up with trends, best practices and modern design methods make good designers and researchers stand out in their field.

UX is forever evolving, and let's face it, the expectations from the user only get higher. It's time for you to gain the high ground, and ensure your products perform as you intend to a level so good that the user doesn't even notice what you've done.

We have made a list of the most popular UX events in the UK in 2023 that offer high-level knowledge from the industry's most decorated designers, researchers, writers, you name it. Find the one for you, get it signed off by your boss, and go level up.
