A great way of learning more about User Experience and getting in touch with professionals who share the same passion as you is to attend UX Conferences and UX Events happening every year around the globe.

Since our 2017, 2018, and 2019 lists have received a lot of positive feedback, we decided to bring it back in 2020. This year we’ve also created a table where you can see all events at once.

Charge your smartphone, bring some business cards in your pocket, and consider adding one of these design events to your 2020 itinerary.

If there’s any event missing from the list, please add a response at the end of this article. Don’t forget to follow UX Collective on Twitter and sign up for our weekly newsletter for more UX content throughout the year.
