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: Design influence, how to get stakeholder buy-in on your ideas and create the design impact you want.
Simon Vanleeuw, Product/UX Designer @ IO / Organiser @ UX Belgium

For all of you who have taken so much painstaking effort to make a customer centric solution for a client or a stakeholder, just to see your vision being compromised, your worries neglected, or your stakeholders asking you to make changes that make your design alarm bells go off, this is the talk for you.

In this talk, Simon is going to share his experience with influencing stakeholders, where he went from changing types and colours to being trusted to make more strategic decisions for a product. Being his honest self, he is going to reflect on some cases where he learned something, where he failed, and what lessons can be drawn from that, so that you're better equiped to deal with this in your day to day work.

Talk 2: TBA
