Themes & Topics

In our focus for 2026:

AI Workflows

Specific, real use cases for AI across the entire product and design process.

AI as Material

What features & experiences are possible with AI? How do we create with it?

Leadership & Careers

How are roles and teams evolving? What does it mean for ICs and leaders alike?

Case Studies

Which first hand experiences, learnings and emerging best practices can we all learn from?

Research & Discovery

Uncovering user needs and translating them into insights and requirements.

Impact of Design

How does UX drive inclusion, sustainability, or business value – and how do we prove it?

Our program spotlights a cross-section of topics that are relevant for experienced product and UX professionals.

We typically pick a relevant mix of sessions ranging from vision and discovery, research and validation, product thinking, UI and interaction design, leadership and people management, to technology.

Real, honest and actually practical content — curated by practitioners, not event promoters.
