UX: A (collaborative) reality check

Let's start a discussion and create collective awareness!

‍

There are several trends in the field of UX, some putting UX at more of a business level (think “seat at the table” or UXers moving into product management), while other trends are pushing UX to be more of a commodity (think design systems or generative AI). We want your perspective on the state of UX. What have you experienced and observed?

‍

We will use the data we collect at uxcon to share preliminary findings at the closing talk on day 2, and then to build some hypotheses for further investigation. So far, our research questions are:

‍

• Are we, as UX professionals, drivers or supporters or something else? And is this what we want to be?
• Are we equipped with what we need to fulfill what this role is?
• Do we need a unified vision as a discipline/industry? Do we already have one? How can we make the implicit explicit to better understand what the state of UX is and what kind of future we want?

Stop by our booth in the break area to share your perspective!
