All about the program at uxcon.

Program
I heard about some sort of research or discussions about "Pulse of UX". What is this all about? Why should I participate?

Pulse of UX is an ongoing research initiative exploring the current state of UX: how roles are shifting, what challenges teams are facing and where the discipline is heading. It's a living project, not a static report. Practitioners and non-UX professionals contribute their perspectives, and everyone gets insights based on real data.

‍

Over the past editions, the on-site research at uxcon vienna showed shared challenges, changing expectations and growing uncertainty about where UX is going. Each year, we dig deeper to build a fuller picture of the field beyond the headlines. As a thank-you, participants get exclusive access to the results.

How do I get access to the recordings and the event documentation?

If you attended uxcon vienna, you'll find the recordings and speaker slides in the event app.

Please note it can take about 1–2 weeks after the event until everything is ready.

What side events are happening, and how do I join?

‍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 tour, the guided university to tour and the UX Game Night – 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.

Will the sessions be recorded?

We’ll be recording all stage talks.

You’ll receive them by email after the conference, once they’re ready.
