Over the past two years at uxcon vienna, we’ve conducted an onsite research study exploring how UX professionals experience the current state of UX. What we found was clear: this topic is on many people’s minds. Across the field, we’re facing shared challenges, changing expectations, and growing uncertainty about where UX is headed.
This year, we want to take a closer look and dig deeper.
Why we’re doing this
The survey is part of a larger research project called Pulse of UX. By sharing your experiences and perspectives, you’ll help us build a more comprehensive and nuanced picture of the UX field today, and better understand what’s really happening beyond the headlines.
And as a thank-you, you’ll get exclusive access to the survey results once they’re ready.
Your perspective matters. Help us take the pulse of UX.
You’ll receive a printed venue map at check-in to help you find your way around uxcon vienna.
The conference takes place across two levels at the University of Vienna:
Entry level
This is where you’ll find:
- Registration / Check-in
- Arcaded courtyard, where you can take a break, grab some food or coffee, and connect with other attendees
Stage level
One level below the entry elvel, you’ll find:
- All stages

Before the conference: Pre-conference Meetup: Join us at Badeschiff on the evening before uxcon '26 to meet other attendees and get into the conference mood.
Day 1
- UX Vienna Club: Meet the local UX community in the evening. Advance registration is required so the organizers can plan accordingly.
- Get-together: After the conference, stick around for music, drinks, and good conversations. No additional registration needed – just join us.
Day 2
- Sightseeing tours: Explore Vienna together after the conference.
- University of Vienna tours: Get a behind-the-scenes look at our beautiful venue.
- UX Graz Meetup: Join the UX Graz community for an informal get-together after the event.
The Day 2 cooldown activities – including the sightseeing tours and University of Vienna tours – are first come, first served, so places are limited.
In between the sessions on conference days
All breaks take place in the arcaded courtyard, where you’ll also find our experience area. Between sessions, take some time to:
- Visit our partner booths
- Explore our Pulse of UX research project
- Meet speakers at the Speaker Corner
- Grab a coffee, take a break, and connect with other attendees
Apart from the UX Vienna Club, which requires advance registration, and the Day 2 cooldown activities, which are first come, first served, you can simply show up and join the other side events.
You’ll find all details, times, and information about the side events in the program.
Workshop sign-up (for "Conference + Workshop" ticket holders)
At the beginning of September, we'll send an email to the address you used when buying your ticket. It has everything you need for the sign-ups: access to our online tool and the exact date and time the workshop registration opens.
On the workshop registration day, you'll get another reminder email – just to be safe. From that moment on, you can grab your spot in your favourite workshop.
If there are still seats left after the first round, we'll open a second round a few days later (don't worry, we'll give you a heads-up). That's your chance to sign up for a second workshop. You can always check the attendee app at any time, including during the conference, to see if there are still spots available in a workshop. We’ll release any remaining workshop spots last-minute, so it’s worth checking the app even if a workshop was previously fully booked.
If a spot opens up, you can sign up directly through the app.
UX Vienna Club sign-up
For the UX Vienna Club on day 1, please register in advance via this link so they can plan properly. You can do that right now.
Cooldown activities
No sign-up needed for the cooldown activities after the conference. Spots are handed out on site, first come, first served (max. 25 people per tour).
Got questions? Just drop us a line at hello@uxcon.io – we're happy to help.
The classic way: pick up your personal conference badge at check-in at the main entrance on either of the conference days.
Want to skip the queue and get straight to the fun?
You can also join our pre-conference get-together the evening before the conference. We’ll offer an early check-in there, so you can pick up your badge in advance and head straight into the conference the next morning.
Yes. We’ll have a wardrobe with limited capacity at the check-in area where you can leave your jacket or a suitcase during the day.
There’s also a locker room on the lower level, directly opposite the main stage (Audimax), where you can securely store your things. You’ll need a €2 deposit to use a locker.
Please note that the lockers automatically open again at 10 pm, so make sure to collect your belongings before then.
Yes. All areas of the University of Vienna used for uxcon are wheelchair accessible.
To use the wheelchair-accessible lifts, please bring your EuroKey if you have one. If you don’t have a EuroKey, you can borrow one from the official information desk of the University of Vienna. Please note that they only have one EuroKey available, so we recommend bringing your own if possible.
Getting to the accessible entrance
To get to the main entrance and check-in, please use the side entrance directly to the right of the main entrance. This entrance takes you directly to the lower level (Stage Level), where you can use the lift to get to the Entry Level and check-in.
Our Pre-conference Meetup venue, Badeschiff Vienna, is also wheelchair accessible.
If you’re arriving in a wheelchair or have other mobility requirements, please get in touch with us before the event. We’re happy to arrange someone from our team to assist you, especially when you arrive for the first time – the University of Vienna is a rather large building, and finding your way around can take a little getting used to.
