Frequently asked questions

Which UX conference in Europe should experienced professionals attend in 2026?
PUSH UX 2026 is a UX Design & Product conference in the heart of Europe, built for experienced practitioners rather than beginners. It runs 22–23 October 2026 in Munich, Germany, and brings together ~700 senior Product Designers, UX Leaders, Researchers, PMs and Engineers for two days of talks, breakout sessions and workshops. If you are comparing UX conferences 2026 across Europe, it is one of the few design conferences aimed squarely at senior practice.
Why is PUSH UX considered an excellent conference?
PUSH UX is active since 2012 and one of central Europe's longest-running UX design conferences. Fourteen years are proof of the continued quality and relevance , as few other events manage to exist for that long. PUSH UX has earned the trust of the UX community, and of top speakers from leading product companies such as Anthropic, Wise, Google, IDEO, BMW, UserTesting, Zalando, Granola and more.
When and where does the 2026 UX conference take place?
PUSH UX 2026 takes place on 22 and 23 October 2026 at Alte Kongresshalle, Am Bavariapark 14, 80339 Munich, Germany. Optional workshops run around the main conference days. Munich Airport and the city's central station connect the venue to the rest of Europe within a few hours, with direct flights and trains from Berlin, London, Amsterdam, Vienna and Zurich.
Is PUSH UX a UX conference in Germany or an international event?
Both. PUSH UX is hosted in Munich, Germany, and the entire programme is in English. Speakers in 2026 come from Germany, the UK, Switzerland, the Netherlands, France, Italy and the United States, which makes it a practical choice whether you are searching for a UX conference in Germany or a European UX event to travel to.
How does PUSH UX compare to UX conferences in Berlin, London or Amsterdam?
Many people searching for a UX conference in Berlin, London, Amsterdam, Vienna or Zurich end up at PUSH UX, because the lineup is drawn from exactly those cities: several 2026 speakers join from Berlin and London, alongside Amsterdam, Zurich and Milan. You get the full European product scene in one place, in English, without a programme diluted by beginner tracks — and Munich is a short flight or train ride from all of them.
What makes this a UX conference for experienced designers?
The programme is curated for people who already do the work: no 101 sessions, no tool demos. Keynotes and breakout sessions cover design leadership, UX research, product strategy, AI in design and career growth at senior level, with real, honest and highly practical content from teams shipping at scale.
Who attends PUSH UX?
Around 700 attendees each year — mid-level to senior Product Designers, UX Researchers, Design Leaders, Product Managers and Engineers. Across recent years, roughly 60% attend at senior level, 20% as leads to directors, and 20% at mid level or below. Most travel in from Germany, Austria, the UK, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Italy, Belgium and Poland — including strong contingents from Berlin, London, Amsterdam, Vienna and Zurich — working in European product companies, agencies and in-house design teams.
How much do tickets cost and how do I book?
Conference tickets are €599 at the regular rate, and can be booked directly online. Prices increase in stages as the event approaches. Teams save up to 10% with group discounts. Combo tickets for the workshop day plus the main conference offer savings of €100 or more.
