Every ticket holder will be notified via email a few weeks before the event about workshop registration details.
Workshop slots are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. If there are spots left in the end, we'll do another round, giving you a chance to join a second workshop.
It's important to register in advance for the workshop. Otherwise, on the conference days, you'll only be able to use remaining spots if any are left.
We warmly welcome anyone interested in UX design and UX research. Our program is tailored for UX enthusiasts from various backgrounds and expertise levels, including UX researchers, designers, product owners, and CX professionals.

Certainly: An event on the scale of uxcon vienna is not sustainable.
We don't want to sugarcoat it, but rather, we want to demonstrate the measures we are implementing now and in the future to make it more sustainable. It's not about claiming to have everything perfect already, but rather an approach to learn and gradually improve step by step.
We’re aware of our responsibility as organizers, so we’re committed to making uxcon vienna as eco-friendly as possible.
Here’s what we’re doing:
♻️ We're in a venue that holds the Austrian Eco-Label.
♻️ We’re offering vegetarian, organic, and eco-friendly catering by our friends from Gaumenfreundinnen.
♻️ We're minimizing unnecessary waste and paper printing.
♻️ We’re avoiding disposable tableware and single-use bottles.
♻️ We’re looking into sustainable options for essential items like conference badges and goodies.
♻️ We’re encouraging everyone to use Vienna’s great public transport.
We try to continuously upgrade these measures as best as we can to ensure we meet our responsibilities.
