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. :)

Interested in hosting? Sponsoring? Volunteering? Participating in another way? Contact us for details at user@uxbelgium.be.

### UX TALKS

Talk 1: #BYOA — Bring Your Own Application
Erik Willemse, Senior Digital Service & AI Design Engineer

We’re entering a phase where, if a tool doesn’t exist, or if the existing ones are simply too complicated, you just build the exact thing you need yourself.
No roadmap. No procurement cycle. No feature request backlog.
Just solve the problem.
Thanks to vibe-coding, building software is becoming accessible to the people who actually experience the friction. Instead of waiting months for a feature or adapting your workflow to a generic tool, you create something that fits your problem, your process, and your team.
Tools like Lovable make that possible. And this shift is bigger than it may seem.
This isn’t really about a waffle charts generator or poster tiling tools. It’s about what happens when building software on demand becomes normal.
When the people closest to the problem can create the solution, exactly when they need it.

Talk 2: TBA
