UX Conferences

A somewhat UK-centric list of UX conferences that are worth the effort/time/cash to attend.

    I'm not much of a UPA gal myself... but this conference is one of the biggest and longest running relevant to our profession so if you haven't, you should consider it. If you can get your company to fund you, there's worse things you could do with your training budget. Although, Las Vegas... I don't know...

  2. UXCampLondon 2012

    London's annual UX barcamp

    England England / London

    14th July 2012

    If you've not been to a BarCamp/Unconference, you should definitely check it out. Much less formal and possibly even more fun, the schedule is formed in front of your very eyes as participants are also session leaders. You have no idea what you'll learn until the day, but it's almost guaranteed to be worth while, and at the bargain price of free!

  3. UX Week 2012

    UX Week is the premier user experience design conference. Design professionals from all over the world gather for four days of community, inspiration and skills building.

    United States United States / San Francisco

    A great event from our friends at Adaptive Path - they always get great speakers and complement the learning sessions with some great exploration of the city and social outings.

  4. UX Australia 2012

    User experience conference and workshops

    Australia Australia / Brisbane

    I've never been to UX Australia but every year I wish I could be there - a great mix of local and international talent in a carefully curated program. I'll get there one year!

  5. dConstruct 2012

    Playing With The Future

    England England / Brighton

    7th September 2012

    Not strictly a UX conference but invariably full of stuff relevant to UXers, dConstruct is a one day, very affordable conference in beautiful Brighton, UK. The guys at ClearLeft attract great international and local speakers and it's not unusual to see or hear people discussing something contentious from the conference days or weeks later. I also love The Dome, great venue.
