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.
See you at the next Meetup!

### UX TALKS
Talk 1: What makes you say that?
Ana Paraschiv, Senior UX ResearcherA personal reflection on how AI can be used as an analytical conversational partner in qualitative research. Through three case studies with different types of data, Ana will share how she explored ways of working with AI during analysis, depending on the needs and objectives of each project.
Talk 2: Designing for two audiences: human and machine
Caroline Hermans, Communications Architect & UX Strategist @ iOHuman-centred design has always meant serving the person at the end of the chain. Business, tech, stakeholders — they had a seat at the table, but the end-human stayed at the centre.
AI just added a new layer. A machine now often sits between our product and that human.
If we only design for the human eye, AI doesn't get the full picture. If we split the work in two — one version for humans, one for machines — they can drift apart.
The move is to design one thing that serves both. Accessibility, content design, and design systems have been teaching us how for years. Human-centred design isn't over. It just gets sharper.
