UX Scotland 2026

Wednesday 10 & Thursday 11 June 2026
John McIntyre Conference Centre, Edinburgh
 

UX Scotland brings together UX practitioners from across Europe and beyond for two days of hands-on learning, thoughtful discussion, and shared experience.

Join us for our 11th edition - two days of hands-on learning, inspiration, and community. The conference brings together designers, researchers, and other user-centred professionals to learn, share experiences, and connect with peers.

Hosted in the beautiful city of Edinburgh, UX Scotland features a carefully curated programme of inspiring keynotes, engaging talks, and interactive workshops. Edinburgh provides a relaxed and welcoming setting, making UX Scotland an ideal conference to attend with colleagues or as part of a wider professional development trip.
