UX Connect 25

June 10 - 11 in Aarhus

Join us in Aarhus on June 10 - 11, 2025 for the UX Connect 25 conference and explore better design together.

We’ve started working on the conference program for next year. Get in touch if you are interested in joining us.

This will be our fourth annual international conference focused on making design better. With world-class speakers coupled with our legendary learning format and social events.

Tired of impersonal and overwhelming gatherings? Picture this event as a unique blend of masterclasses, insightful talks, interactive discussions, impactful learning sessions, and authentic networking opportunities. Less lectures, more conversations.

What is UX Connect?

We started with UX Connect 22, which was quite well received and focused mostly on reducing carbon footprint, by creating low energy websites. at UX Connect 23, we build on it and looked broader at sustainability through the lens of the sustainable development goals.

This year at UX Connect 24 we managed to make it even better with input and participation from our global design leadership community and now we have started planning the 2025 edition.

The sessions are without the usual sales and marketing pitches. There’s also plenty of time for conversations, so that you can bring actionable insights back to your desk and your projects.

“The past two days were completely different. Open and intense conversation about processes, business, bias, sustainability and accountability characterised the conversation. Tools were shared, ideas developed and together we questioned it all.”

Venue

Once again, the event is held at Vertica on Åboulevarden 69, an iconic and historic building in the city centre of Aarhus, Denmark.

The building is from 1910 and originally built as a financial centre in what experts call a mixture of Dutch baroque and Danish classicism. Today it remains one of our most beautiful buildings and on the inside it is well restored and well-suited for networking and learning.

It’s just a few minutes walk from Aarhus Central Station and there are many hotels within 5 minutes walk. Aarhus is well connected with good train connections and nearby airports are Aarhus (AAR), Aalborg (AAL) and Billund (BLL).
