UXPA Boston Annual Conference

Bringing together New England’s UX community to share ideas, sharpen skills, and build meaningful connections.

The UXPA Boston Annual Conference brings together the heart of New England’s user‑experience community—designers, researchers, product professionals, strategists, and leaders—from the Greater Boston area and beyond. Over the course of a lively one‑day event, you’ll engage with powerful keynotes, fast‑paced lightning talks, in‑depth peer‑reviewed sessions, and hands‑on workshops—all curated through a blind review process by the UXPA Boston Board.

What began in 2001 as a modest gathering at MathWorks has grown into a 1,000+ attendee conference rooted in community, collaboration and growth. Whether you’re just beginning your UX journey, leading teams, or somewhere in between, you’ll leave inspired, connected, and equipped with new tools and ideas to create meaningful experiences for users.

Join us to learn, share, and connect—and be part of shaping the future of UX in New England.

“The cost was incredibly reasonable and the one day commitment made attending much less of a hassle as I live in Boston and only needed to miss one day of work. The sessions I went to were great.”
