UXCon Vienna 2026 (Online / Vienna, Austria)
UXCon Vienna 2026, the 6th edition of Europe’s friendliest conference for UX research and design, returns on September 16 – 17, 2026 at the historic University of Vienna.
This year’s venue sets a distinctly Hogwarts-like atmosphere, bringing research and academia to the forefront of the conversation as we explore how technology, humanity, and machines continuously shape one another. Attendees will also have plenty of opportunities to connect and network with fellow practitioners throughout the event.
As with the last edition, international participants who cannot attend in person will be able to join the conference remotely from the comfort of their home or office.
For those looking to go deeper, Future Builders 2026 follows as an intimate, one-day gathering for 60 senior practitioners across design, engineering, and product, perfect for anyone who wants to extend the conversations beyond the main conference.
