The venue
Theater Zuidplein

We're returning to Theater Zuidplein, right in the heart of Rotterdam Zuid.

For UX Rotterdam 2027, we're taking over two theatres with a full programme across both days. The Main Stage welcomes up to 650 visitors, while our Second Stage offers space for another 250.

With dedicated workshop spaces, a Business & Networking Lounge and plenty of opportunities to connect, Theater Zuidplein becomes the meeting place for our international design community.

Easy to reach by public transport. And even easier to feel at home.
