Speakers – UXRotterdam

Meet the voices shaping the Future of UX

Behind every breakthrough in design is a voice that dares to challenge the familiar. At UX Rotterdam 2026, those voices come together — pioneers from Porsche, Miro, Ikea, and beyond — to share the stories, insights, and ideas shaping the future of human-centered innovation. These are not just talks; they are sparks for what you’ll create next.
