About us
We’re a casual and welcoming community of User Experience (UX) professionals, founded in 2013 by people who just wanted to relax and talk about design over a cold beer.
We organize events in Belgium (Antwerp, Brussels and Hasselt) to connect UX professionals and encourage continuous learning. We meet to exchange ideas, informally network, and grow together through all stages of our careers.
We’re run by a small group of dedicated volunteers and the generosity of speakers, local sponsors and hosts, and enthusiastic members like you!
Look for these types of events:
UX Beers (every last Tuesday in Antwerp, 2nd Tuesday in Brussels (4x per year), and also In Hasselt 4x per year, typically 60 - 80 attendees)
We gather at a different UX agency or venue to network, drink beers, and listen to speakers on various themes in the world of UX and digital design.
UX Workshops (periodic, attendance and topics vary)
Periodically we organize events to dive deeper into specific topics or skills in UX. These are facilitated, hands-on, small-group workshops, and a great way to improve your UX skills in more interactive format.
UX Movies (periodic, attendance and topics vary)
Sometimes cool movies and documentaries about design and social issues come out that are interesting for UX designers. We hold screenings with discussions and expert panels, and of course, we bring the beers. :)

### UX TALKS
Talk 1: Align or Fail: When Brand Meets UX
Mario Restrepo, Creative DirectorEvery interaction shape perception and tells a brand story, whether intended or not.
In this talk, we explore why UX is the space where brand promises are either proven or broken, and why, in the age of AI, alignment between brand and user experience has become a strategic imperative.
Drawing on real-world examples, this talk reframes UX designers as brand storytellers, and UX deciders and stakeholders as guardians of trust. It also introduces an AI-driven Brand Sentiment Analysis workflow, showing how teams can translate user signals into actionable insights, and design experiences that don’t just function, but reinforce how a brand is felt, remembered, and believed.Talk 2: The UX evolution: thriving in the age of intelligent systems
David Grunewald, Founder of Pluginto.ai , AI-StrategistAI is fundamentally changing how UX professionals work, but it's amplifying our capabilities, not replacing them.
This 45-minute session explores what's actually happening in 2026. You'll see real implementations from banking, healthcare, and other sectors: proactive systems that anticipate needs, conversational interfaces that adapt to individual patterns, and hyper-personalisation at scale.
We'll examine four trends reshaping UX practice and, more importantly, what they mean for your daily work. What's being automated? What's gaining value? And what are the five essential skills that set you apart in an AI-augmented world?
You'll leave with clarity on how to evolve your practice and confidence that your human expertise remains your competitive advantage.
