Design & UX Events in Europe
Design events in Europe cluster around a few well-known anchors (UX Copenhagen, Config EU, Design Matters Copenhagen/Warsaw, UX London, UXLx Lisbon, uxcon Vienna, UXDX EMEA, Awwwards Conferences, Beyond Tellerrand, Pixel Pioneers, Hatch, Milan Design & UX Week), surrounded by a dense local meetup scene for product designers, UX researchers, design-systems practitioners, and the accessibility community. This page tracks both.
Coverage includes product and interaction design, UX research and usability testing, design systems (Figma variables, tokens, component governance), service design and behavioral design, accessibility (WCAG, inclusive design, screen-reader testing), content design, and the design-engineering hybrid role that has grown into its own community. The AI-meets-design crossover is particularly active right now: Figma AI jams, human-centered AI-design talks, and sessions on what AI tools change about the practice show up regularly on the calendar. You'll also find design-ops and team-leadership tracks for people running design practices, plus typography and brand-design events for folks whose work sits closer to that side of the discipline.
Geographically, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Berlin, London, Stockholm, and Helsinki sustain the densest monthly meetup rhythm. Vienna, Warsaw, Brno, Barcelona, and Lisbon have fast-growing scenes, and the larger annual conferences rotate between these cities. Brainberg aggregates listings into a single chronological European view, so designers can see what's upcoming without subscribing to a dozen local lists.

Design Constraint Roulette: Spin. Sketch. Solve.
Eindhoven, đłđ± Netherlands
What happens when the rules of a design challenge are decided by chance?
Join us for Design Constraint Roulette, a playful, hands-on meetup where weâll turn unexpected limitations into creative possibilities. Working in small teams, youâll spin for a user, a problem, and a surprise constraintâthen race to sketch a solution before the rules change again.
Halfway through the challenge, every team will receive a twist that forces them to adapt. Weâll finish with quick pitches, friendly audience awards, and a conversation about how constraints can sharpen our thinking rather than restrict it.
No polished design skills or advance preparation are needed. Whether youâre an experienced designer, new to UX, or simply curious about creative problem-solving, youâre welcome. Just bring your curiosity and willingness to experiment.
What to bring: Yourself. A notebook or tablet is optional; basic sketching materials will be provided.

UX Tuesday: Prototyping in the Age of AI: Is that fake or real?
Brno, đšđż Czechia
Prototyping in the Age of AI: Is that Fake or Real?
AI can turn ideas into working prototypes faster than ever. But speed alone doesnât guarantee consistency, realistic experiences, long-term sustainability, or something a team can actually use.
đ€ Petra Vu (DesignOps Lead, Livesport)
đ€ Monika HöklovĂĄ (DesignOps Specialist, Livesport)
In this talk, weâll show how AI helps us create a realistic playground for stakeholders, share design libraries and documentation, and build prototypes for iOS, Android, and the web. Weâll explore platform-specific implementations, connecting real data, and automating design updates.
These capabilities have allowed us to create prototypes that feel like real products, and theyâre now helping us with the global redesign of our apps and website.

What Does Your Design Make People Feel
* This is an online event
We often talk about a brandâs âlook and feel.â But what do we actually mean by feel? If two people look at the same advertisement, can they describe what it communicates in a way that helps them make better design decisions?
Richard Gillingwater has spent his career working in branding and design. His current work, The Feeling Map, offers a way to examine the feelings and human needs communicated through words and visuals. In this workshop, Richard will introduce the map and show how it can help us look more closely at brand communications, differentiation, and the choices people make.
Then youâll try it yourself. Weâll examine an advertisement, use the map to identify what it communicates, and compare what we notice. There will be plenty of time for discussion and questions. Whether you work in design, research, marketing, or strategy, youâll leave with a fresh way to talk about the part of an experience we often call its âfeel.â
Agenda
6:30 Welcome + Introductions
6:40 Why "look and feel" is hard to describe
7:00 Introduction to The Feeling Map and examples
7:30 Interactive advertisement mapping exercise
8:05 Discussion and Q&A
8:30 End
Abour Our Presenter
Richard Gillingwater has built a long career in branding and design, helping organizations communicate in ways that connect with people. His current work, The Feeling Map, brings that practical experience together with five years of research into how brands communicate feelings and the human needs behind them. Richard and his collaborators have mapped thousands of brands, developing a shared language for examining how words and visuals shape a brandâs position and influence choice.

Lisbon, đ”đč Portugal
How to design at AIâs new pace: talks with design leaders from CTT, novobanco and Diconium, then a happy hour. Lisbon, Nov 11.
How to design at AIâs new pace
Prototypes in minutes, research synthesised in seconds, products launched in days. AI has changed the rhythm of design and product work for everyone, from designers just starting out to the people leading teams.
At UX Talks â26, we get to what matters: where speed helps, where it gets in the way, and which parts of our craft are worth more than ever when machines do the fast part. One evening of honest talks, followed by a happy hour to keep the conversation going.
On stage
- JoĂŁo Planche, Product Design Director at Diconium
- Volodymyr Grikh, Head of Digital Experience at CTT
- Rita Pape, Service Experience Design Lead at novobanco
- Hosted by Mao Barros, CCO & Co-founder at Deeploy
No sales pitches, no ready-made formulas. Just experience from people building product with AI every day.
How the evening works
- Check-in from 6:30 pm
- Talks
- Happy hour
Who itâs for
Designers, researchers, PMs, design leaders and founders. Anyone who designs or builds digital products and wants to make sense of the new pace.
Good to know
- In person at Heden Sta. ApolĂłnia, by the river at the Lisbon Cruise Terminal (EdifĂcio NE, Doca, R. do Jardim do Tabaco, 1100-651 Lisboa).
- It takes place during Web Summit and Portugal Tech Week, but itâs an independent event by Deeploy. You donât need a Web Summit ticket.

World Usability Day 2026 in Mannheim
Mannheim, đ©đȘ Germany
Am Donnerstag, 12. November 2026, findet der World Usability Day Mannheim statt, und wir laden dich herzlich dazu ein.
Donnerstag, 12. November 2026, 14:00 â 19:00 Uhr
C-Hub Mannheim, HafenstraĂe 25, 68159 Mannheim
Unbedingt auf wud-ma.de anmelden!
Der World Usability Day ist ein weltweiter Aktionstag, der User Experience und menschenzentriertes Design in den Mittelpunkt stellt. In Mannheim organisieren wir von shift52 die lokale Ausgabe, und Christian Reschke fĂŒhrt als Moderator durch den Tag.
Das Besondere an diesem Event ist das Format: Statt eines festen Programms gestalten die Teilnehmenden die Agenda selbst. Wer ein Thema, eine Frage oder eine Erfahrung aus der eigenen Arbeit mitbringt, stellt sie kurz vor, und gemeinsam wird entschieden, worĂŒber in den Sessions gesprochen wird. So kommen Menschen aus Design, Entwicklung, Produktmanagement und alle, die sich fĂŒr gute digitale Produkte interessieren, miteinander ins GesprĂ€ch, egal ob mit langjĂ€hriger Erfahrung oder gerade erst am Anfang. Einen fertigen Vortrag brauchst du dafĂŒr nicht, eine gute Frage reicht oft schon. Ab 18:00 Uhr klingt der Tag bei einem Get Together mit GetrĂ€nken und Snacks aus.
Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos, die PlĂ€tze sind jedoch begrenzt. Wenn du dabei sein möchtest, melde dich am besten gleich ĂŒber wud-ma.de an.

For our November meetup, we celebrate World Usability Day with a âtech for goodâ theme, and are delighted to welcome two fantastic speakers who will share their experiences of starting and scaling products in this space.
James Buchan (Founder and CEO of ePass) will tell his story of going from CivTech challenge to national government infrastructure, and Tirtho Dasgupta (Founder, NirmÄnaa) will share his experience of building an accessibility co-pilot in just 9 weeks.
Proceedings
- 5.15pm: Doors
- 5.45pm: From Challenge to Infrastructure: What It Really Takes to Design for Government (James Buchan)
- 6.30pm: Break
- 6.40pm: Designing Doubt: Can I Make This Journey? (Tirtho Dasgupta)
- 7.30pm: Close
From Challenge to Infrastructure: What It Really Takes to Design for Government (James Buchan)
Most government tech projects begin with a specification. ePass began with a problem: licensing in Scotland was slow, paper-heavy and different in every council and agency. CivTech asked for an outcome, not a solution. That one difference changed everything that followed.
In this talk, James Buchan, Founder and CEO of ePass, tells the story of going from a CivTech challenge to national government infrastructure. Heâll cover each stage, from concept to pilot to live services, and on to national adoption as a reusable common component.
User-centred design runs through the whole story. It isnât a phase you finish. Itâs what earns you the right to keep going. James will cover:
- Who the users are. In government you have more than one. Youâre designing for citizens, businesses, licensing officers and policy teams all at once.
- Research in complex places. How to do discovery when every department works differently and the âas-isâ process lives in peopleâs heads.
- Standards as a design tool. Why the Digital Scotland Service Standard and assessments push for better products, if you treat them that way.
- Designing for reuse. How to build a common component that 160+ licence types can configure, without it becoming hundreds of different products.
- What scale changes. How UCD practice has to adapt once youâre infrastructure and not a pilot.
Youâll leave with practical lessons on research, design and delivery that hold up in government, and an honest look at what goes wrong along the way.
Designing Doubt: Can I Make This Journey? (Tirtho Dasgupta)
In this talk, Tirtho will share his experience of building an accessibility co-pilot in just 9 weeks, solo. Through this journey, he'll explore how AI is changing the nature of design work, challenging designers to move beyond creating certainty and instead design for uncertainty itself.
Designing Doubt asks what âtech as goodâ really demands when the right answer is often âIâm not sure.â
About James
James Buchan is Founder and CEO of ePass, the Scottish GovTech company automating how governments handle licensing and permitting. ePass started as a CivTech challenge, a spinout from AI and software delivery company Zudu. Itâs now a national common component, part of the Digital Strategy for Scotland and Programme for Government. James is a second-time founder with a background in data, product and digital transformation.
About Tirtho
Tirtho is a strategic design experience leader over two decades of experience in designing and delivering enterprise products and SaaS applications, now moving into AI native product experience.
Belfast Design Meetup
Belfast, đŹđ§ United Kingdom
Belfast Design Meetup is a free after-work event for designers to learn, connect, and grow together. Starting at 5:30 PM, weâll host talks, discussions, and real-world experience sharing in Belfast City Centre at MCS Group's stunning event space.
T A L K S
ââ From Apple to Ideas by Damien Pascoe, Head of UX at Virtuoso.
âDamien Pascoe explores creativity and the role of UX designers in the age of artificial intelligence. The talk begins with a simple exercise in which participants take turns drawing apples without repeating one anotherâs ideas. Through this activity, Damien shows how we move from obvious solutions to unexpected concepts, why generating more ideas helps us find stronger ones, and how building on other peopleâs contributions expands our thinking. He then connects these principles to UX and product design, examining when to follow familiar patterns and when to push beyond them to create something new.
âDrawing on a brief history of UX and the skills that underpin the discipline, Damien considers what human designers bring to a process in which AI can already generate interfaces and apply established rules. He explores the value of creative intuition, empathy, cultural awareness and lived experience, alongside the ethical risks of simulating human emotion. The talk argues that AI can amplify a designerâs capabilities, while human understanding remains essential to setting direction, knowing when to break the rules, and creating products that resonate with people.
â⥠Making a Mark: The Decisions Behind Enduring Logos by David Airey, Independent Designer at David Airey Studio.
âDavid Airey is an independent brand identity designer and author who founded his studio in Northern Ireland in 2005. Known for his books Logo Design Love, Identity Designed and Identity Designed: The Process, he has worked with clients in more than 30 countries, including the BBC, Yellow Pages and the Asian Development Bank.
âClients often want a logo to explain what their business does. It rarely needs to, and trying to do so can weaken it. Drawing on both old and new projects, David Airey will share what makes a mark effective and lasting: simplicity, distinctiveness, and relevance. Heâll also cover why being ownable matters as much as being memorable, and how he approaches the client side by presenting ideas to keep feedback focused on the brief and spot potential problems early.

Mehr Usability
Götzis, đŠđč Austria
Das nÀchste UX Design Meetup findet am World Usability Day (Donnerstag) bei Fusonic in Götzis statt.
Posthog â Zahlen statt BauchgefĂŒhl | von Mathias Fritsch (Fusonic)
Viel zu hĂ€ufig werden Entscheidungen in Projekten basierend auf Annahmen und BauchgefĂŒhlen getroffen. Oftmals ist man sich bei diesen sehr sicher, schlieĂlich kennt man sein Projekt ja in- und auswendig. Doch die RealitĂ€t sieht oft anders aus, Nutzer verhalten sich nicht nach definierten »Happy Paths« und im Rahmen von dem, was in der Planung konzipiert und antizipiert wurde.
PostHog hilft uns dabei, das Nutzerverhalten unter die Lupe zu nehmen. Einerseits können tiefgehende Analysen durchgefĂŒhrt werden, aber auch sehr schnell Dinge geprĂŒft werden, welche in der Konzeption eine Rolle spielen. Bei diesem Vortrag werde ich einen Einblick in Posthog geben und ein paar Beispiele fĂŒr Analysen aus unserem Projekt vorstellen.
Gute GrĂŒnde fĂŒr Usability Testing | Christina Willi (Fusonic)
Usability Testing ist fester Bestandteil des UX-Prozesses â zumindest in der Theorie. In der Praxis ist der Weg zum tatsĂ€chlichen Testing nicht immer ganz so einfach. Denn auch wenn wir wissen, wie wertvoll das Feedback von Nutzer:innen ist, muss Usability Testing seinen Platz im Projekt erst einmal finden. In diesem Talk geht es um typische HĂŒrden, die uns dabei begegnen und wie wir sie ĂŒberwinden können.
WĂ€hrend dem Event sorgt Fusonic mit GetrĂ€nken und Snacks fĂŒr eine gemĂŒtliche Stimmung und gute Networking-AtmosphĂ€re.
Die Teilnahme am Meetup ist kostenlos.

Lead with Design. Know the Business.
Zurich, đšđ Switzerland
Great creative work doesnât always speak for itself. So how do you make its value visible?
Many designers, architects and creative professionals are excellent at their craft, yet are rarely shown how their work fits into the bigger picture of a company or of their own business.
The result? Good work that is hard to explain, hard to price, and easy to overlook.
In this keynote, Antonio Herrera shows how creative skills solve real business problems.
Youâll discover how to align your work with the vision of the company you work for, or how to build a business around your own.
Two anonymous case studies show the thinking in practice: a company report that set a business apart from its competition, and a luxury real estate project that created value through better relationships, without losing time or money.
The session closes with live mentoring and collaborative reflection, where the room works together on two real challenges.
What business problems do you already solve? And how would you explain it?
âââ
đ§ What youâll take away
- See your big picture, and the bigger picture around it.
- Align your vision with the value of your work.
- Create value in your role, whether as an intrapreneur, entrepreneur or creative leader.
- Use creativity and business skills together to solve expensive problems.

đ Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism
Join the UX Book Club on Wednesday 9 November where we'll chat about Careless People: A Cautionary Tale of Power, Greed, and Lost Idealism by Sarah Wynn-Williams.
//ABOUT THE BOOK //
This memoir is an insider's account of working at Facebook during its rise. Sarah Wynn-Williams describes a world of private jets and meetings with world leaders, but also sexism, double standards and a toxic workplace culture.
She covers key moments in the company's history, along with the strain of being a working mother in a high-pressure job, while Sheryl Sandberg told women to "lean in".

UX Talks - Design jam and chat
Brew up a beverage, fire up Figma and spend some time in the company of fellow designers. We'll work on a just-for-fun design challenge, but the focus of this session is really to chat with other designers, share ideas and get to know each another a bit better.
Why attend:
- Make new design friends outside your usual company/college/house - exchange notes, keyboard shortcuts, resources, fun facts
- Inadvertently maybe learn some new Figma techniques!
- Get creative with your designs in a no-pressure environment
All levels welcome!

Bringing back creative research methods
Whatâs this session about?
Over the past decade, a quiet shift has happened. As research moved online, creativity got left behind.
Semi-structured interviews became the default, and with them, we lost the richness and diversity of methods that help us uncover what people really think, feel, and do.
Becky Mallaband and Rebecca Partridge are on a mission to change that.
In this session, they'll share how a more creative approach to research (both in person and online) can help you go deeper, surface tacit knowledge, and get far more valuable insights from every session you run.
After attending this session, you'll leave with:
- A clearer understanding of the different levels of knowledge and why they matter
- See methods in action that you can try straight away
- Fresh thinking about your own practice and where creativity could take it further
Who's this for?
Anyone who conducts research or is interested in Human-centred Design, whether you're just starting out or looking to shake up your existing practice.
Anything else?
This will be a fun online session and a safe space to have a go and ask questions, just bring drinks and nibbles!

Countdown to the Holidays
Countdown to the Holidays: A Look Back at 2026

Before we celebrate the season, let's celebrate ourselves. Doing it together lets us share, reflect, and recall the things you might have forgotten you'd done.
We'll give you some points of reflection, play some holiday music while you mull them over, and then talk about what came up.
A good way to wrap up the year.

Navigating the Shift: A 2026 UX Community Retrospective
Zurich, đšđ Switzerland
About the Meetup
2026 brought rapid change to the design landscape. Between evolving roles and shifting teams, many of us had to adapt and rethink our direction. While it can sometimes feel like you are navigating these uncertain times alone, it is clear that your fellow UX professionals share many of the same challenges. We want to create an open space for candid, practical conversations and real opportunities to learn from one another.
Whether you are redefining your path after years in the field or breaking into UX for the first time, your experience matters. Join us for this edition of Thursday Talks to unpack the year's lessons and look toward what comes next - in 2027 and beyond.
đ Meetup Program
This evening consists of two parts: an inspiring talk to set the theme, followed by interactive discussion among attendees.
Part 1
Featured Talk: "Getting Off My Island: Lessons from an Unplanned Year"
Speaker: Claire Paddison
Roles change, teams restructure, and it happens to people at every level, including senior ones. After 18 years at Autodesk, Claire left in early 2026 and had to work out what came next. Instead of rushing into the next thing, she treated the transition as an internal design project. Claire will share what worked, the friction points along the way, and the questions worth asking ourselves as we close out the year.
About the speaker
Claire is a designer and design leader with two decades of experience shaping product ecosystems, most recently as Senior Director, Experience and Analytics at Autodesk, where she led a global, multi-disciplinary team transforming 3D modelling software for architects and engineers.
Part 2
Community Retrospective & Open Panel
Following Claireâs talk, the floor opens to the room. We will take time for some reflection using âRose Thorn Budâ (a design thinking technique born out of the Scouts), followed by âspeed-sharingâ to compare notes, find common themes, and share insights. When the horn blows, you find somebody new. We will wrap up with an open panel featuring Claire and the meetup hosts alongside voices from the audience.
What you get: proper time to reflect on your own year, several new people to meet, the relief of hearing your own challenges in someone elseâs words, and an open panel at the end to put your questions to Claire and the hosts.
----------------------------------------
đŹ The Talk is in English
đ The event will be held at ETH ZĂŒrich, CHN E 46
