IXDC 2026 (Guangzhou, Guangdong, China)
IXDC 2026 (International Conference of Experience Design 2026 / 国际体验设计大会 2026), China’s premier and largest UX design conference, will take place at Guangzhou Design Capital in Southern China from October 29 – November 1, 2026.
Building on last year’s theme, “Human–Machine Symbiosis 人机共生”, this year’s conference introduces a new sub-theme, “Creating Intelligent Experiences with Warmth 创造有温度的智能体验”, exploring how design can preserve empathy, humanity and emotional connection in an increasingly AI-driven world.
The event will bring together executives, business and design leaders, product designers, researchers and innovators from leading companies and institutions across China and the broader region. Through keynote sessions, panel discussions, and networking opportunities, participants will exchange forward-looking ideas, share emerging practices and foster meaningful collaborations.
Over the past 15 years, IXDC has welcomed tens of thousands of UX professionals and thought leaders, establishing itself as a cornerstone gathering for China’s experience design community.
