What is UX Connect?

Industry luminary Rahel Bailie wrote this based on her experience at UX Connect 23: The effect of user experience on sustainability - a review of 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 we are working on making it even better with input and participation from our global design leadership community.

Conferences come in many shapes and sizes. This one has rooms for 60 participants and you can still secure your ticket.

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.

Who will you meet?

“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.”

It’s an international conference with confirmed participants from all over Europe. It’s a friendly mix of vendors, agencies, analysts and customers who get together to learn, network and talk about what really matters at the intersection of design and sustainability.

Among the vendors joining us are CoreMedia from Germany and Little Forest from the UK.

On the customer-side you can meet organisations like Aarhus University, Booking.com, Danish Red Cross, Grundfos, IKEA, NAV (Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration), Royal Library of Denmark, Too Good To Go, Universal Robots and VIA University College.

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).
