UX Rotterdam 2026 is a wrap!

Two days in Theater Zuidplein.
A full program of keynotes, workshops, and conversations.
And a community that showed up with energy, curiosity, and openness.

From talks on AI, design leadership, branding, and systems thinking, to honest conversations about the changing role of designers. From workshops where people got hands-on, to moments in between sessions where ideas were challenged and new perspectives emerged.

To everyone who joined: speakers, partners, volunteers, and participants.

Thank you.

This was our first edition.
And it feels like the start of a growing community.

We’re already working on UX Rotterdam 2027.

See you there.

Meet the voices shaping the Future of UX

These are not just talks; they are sparks for what you’ll create next.
