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

Before the conferencePre-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.
