If you’re passionate about UX research, this is the place to be.

UXinsight is where UXR professionals from all backgrounds come together to co-create a warm, welcoming space for learning, sharing, and genuine connection.

You’ll find thoughtfully crafted talks, honest conversations and lots of fun.

The Festival attracts people who are deeply involved in UX research—from curious newcomers to seasoned professionals.

At the 2025 edition, we welcomed 500+ participants (250+ in-person and 250+ online), with a mix of:

• UX researchers (60%)
• Designers (15%)
• UX research leads (15%)

Most attendees have 5+ years of experience, though we welcome all levels.

They come from a wide range of sectors—tech, e-commerce, finance, government, education, and more—bringing diverse, research-driven perspectives to the conversation.

This year’s conference marks the 10th UXR event and our 5th in a hybrid format.

• April 20 (in-person): half-day, highly interactive program. Based on our learnings of 2025, the ‘Turn insight into action’ interactive session returns in 2026. The focus lies on solving your challenges, sharing solutions and ideas, and setting the base for connecting with peers throughout the entire conference, and possibly even beyond.
• April 21 and 22 (hybrid): conference days with talks, live Q&As, networking sessions, break activities, sponsor demos and more. It’s a single track program, so no FOMO.
• April 21 evening (in-person): UXinsight by Night. Social program to enjoy the evening and connect with peers in a relaxed and informal setting.

The program and speakers will be announced at the start of 2026. If you’re curious, take a look at the 2025 program. And subscribe to our newsletter if you want to be among the first to get notified about updates.

The entire event is in English.

UXinsight by Night on Tuesday, April 21, is an evening full of fun, food, and drinks. It is all about low-effort and enjoyable networking.

The evening consists of a team activity, dinner and drinks. If your team wins, eternal glory is yours, along with a nice prize, and for sure you’ll have a great conversation starter during the final conference day. 

UXinsight by Night is included in the Full Festival experience 3-day ticket. With a 2-day Conference experience ticket, you can add a UXinsight by Night ticket for €45.

For many of us, connecting with fellow researchers is one of the biggest perks of attending a conference. At the Festival, we’ve made this a core focus:

• Monday’s interactive session: Collaborate in small groups with like-minded peers on shared challenges.
• Plenty of breaks: Lots of time to connect and exchange views during the in-person event.
• Live Q&As: Dive deeper into insights through engaging discussions.
• UXinsight by Night (April 21): Enjoy low-effort networking, fun, food, and drinks in a relaxed setting.
• And more to come

We’ll open the Call for Speakers on October 1, 2025. You’ll be informed via our newsletter (subscribe here) and LinkedIn. The call will be open until October 15.
