UX conferences can feel overwhelming…. we know
You scroll the speaker list, try to plan your day, hope you meet someone cool, and then… blink. It’s over.
You leave with some notes, maybe a tote bag, and a feeling like... you could have gotten more out of it.
So let’s fix that.
Here’s how to make UXCON25 the kind of experience you’ll keep talking about and applying for years to come:
1. Don’t just show up. Set an intention.
Before you walk into the room, ask yourself:
What do I want to walk away with?
Is it clarity on your career path?
A new approach to research or strategy?
A real connection with someone who gets this field?
Write it down. You’ll be surprised how that one step sharpens your focus.
2. Sit with someone new. (Yes, even if it’s awkward.)
You didn’t come all this way to eat lunch alone.
Some of the best advice, friendships, and job leads come from the person sitting next to you.
Start with: “What brought you here?” You never know where that conversation could lead.
3. Ask the real questions.
If something a speaker says sparks curiosity or doubt… raise your hand. DM them later.
UXCon25 is full of people who want to talk. And this is your chance to go beyond surface-level takes.
4. Write down ONE thing you’ll apply.
You don’t need to implement everything you hear.
Just one thing. One framework. One question. One mindset shift.
That’s how real change happens one applied insight at a time.
5. Follow up.
Met someone interesting? Send them a message that isn’t just “let’s connect.”
Tell them what you appreciated. Share a takeaway. Build the kind of network that grows with you.
