List of UX/UI and design thinking conferences

Plan your design events calendar with our curated list of UX/UI and design thinking conferences worldwide. Find upcoming dates, cities, venues and official links for Config, UXDX, UX London, ACM CHI, SmashingConf and more, regularly updated as organizers announce new editions.

The importance of UX/UI and Design Thinking in creating intuitive and engaging user experiences continues to grow. As AI reshapes how products are imagined, built and used, design teams are moving beyond screens and flows to shape how people interact with intelligent systems, agents and automated decisions. Getting that experience right is now a business priority, not only a design one.

At Qubika, our Product Design & Usability Studio works at that intersection every day, combining user research, interaction design and a proven UX design process with the AI capabilities of our Agentic Factory. Staying close to the global design community is part of how we keep our work, and our clients’ products, ahead of the curve.
