Too many events promise inspiration and leave us with notebooks full of ideas we never actually use.
At UXCON25, we’re fixing that.
This is one day built around the realities we face as UXers: tighter timelines, unclear roles, shifting expectations, and the constant pressure to prove our impact.
And here’s the kicker: we’re now less than 30 days away from the big day.
On October 9 in Silver Spring, MD, we’ll come together for content that’s clear, practical, and grounded in the work we all do.
Keynotes That Speak to Our Realities
Kevin Liang (Founder, Educator, Zero to UX) opens the day with a keynote that reframes the UX identity. Titles and roles in UX are shifting fast, and Kevin will help you make sense of the changes. You’ll walk away knowing which skills really matter next, and how to step confidently into your lane.
Jeremy Miller (Author & Host, Beyond UX Design) takes on the uncertainty we all feel. In a world of volatility, complexity, and constant change, Jeremy shows how to design with ambiguity, not against it. His keynote will give you practical ways to help your team ship with confidence even when the future isn’t clear.
Calvin Robertson (Founder & Managing Director, OBCIDION) challenges what leadership really looks like. Leadership isn’t about titles, it’s about daily practice. Calvin shares actionable frameworks for influence, integrity, and impact so you can define how you lead, and grow into the leader your team is waiting for.
Jen Blatz (Principal UX Researcher, BECU) closes with a keynote on connection in a disconnected world. From awkward networking to remote work silos, Jen will show you how to build stronger, more meaningful relationships, the kind that help your career, your projects, and your collaborations last.

Why This Room Matters
Because we’ve all felt it, leaving an event and wondering, “What do I actually do next?”
At UXCON25, you’ll get:
Actionable recommendations (see what we did there..lol) you can use the very next day
Honest insights from people dealing with the same challenges you are
Connections that last longer than the event
This is all about clarity.
And in 29 days, you’ll get a chance to learn directly from leaders, see what’s working in UX right now, and build connections that will move your career forward.
We’ll see you in the room.
