Unlike most other conferences, we gather together a mix of academic and industry experts and curate our talks along a strong theme…
…This year’s theme is UX is dead, long live UX!.
During this one day conference, we aim to eschew traditional thinking and examine better ways to model and think about the world. We'll see how we can learn from many disciplines and professions, not just design or UX, and demonstrate how the best design needs a foundation of empirical evidence and critical thinking.
Thought-provoking speakers
Our speakers are individually selected from industry and academia; we make a particular effort to bring new, relevant speakers to our audiences and we have been responsible for bringing a number of now well-known speakers on to the conference circuit.
A boutique team
UX Brighton is carefully curated by Danny Hope, a UX consultant with over a decade of experience. In all matters logistical, practical and eventful Emmeline Caines-Gooby ensures the conference runs like a well oiled machine. Emm's been working with Danny since 2011. Emmeline and Danny are backed up by a team of volunteers who all work to ensure the conference is a great day for all our attendees, speakers and sponsors.
