Where is uxcon '27 happening?

uxcon vienna’27 is happening at the Jugendstiltheater on the Otto Wagner Areal, one of Vienna's most beautiful hidden spots.

‍

This year will be all about stepping off the hamster wheel.

No rushing from meeting to meeting, no inbox pinging every five minutes. Just space and time to think, connect and get inspired.

‍

And we found the perfect place for it: a stunning Art Nouveau theater built more than 100 years ago (1904–1907). It was originally designed as a place for culture and wellbeing, and after a careful renovation it reopened in 2025. Picture ornate details, elegant halls and a historic stage, now with modern technology.

‍

The theater sits on the Otto Wagner Areal, a large park-like site on the western edge of Vienna, close to the Vienna Woods. It's named after Otto Wagner, one of the city's most famous architects, and his iconic Kirche am Steinhof with its golden dome is just a short walk away. Think old trees, wide green lawns, historic pavilions and views across the city. It's the kind of place where your shoulders drop and your head clears, and that's when the good ideas show up. Take your time between talks: grab a coffee, wander through the park and have the conversations you never get to have in the daily chaos. You'll leave with new contacts, fresh ideas and maybe even a little more calm.
