Why this World Usability Day is important
New technologies open up unprecedented possibilities. At the same time, we must protect privacy, build trust, and focus on human-centered design.
The change is palpable: Our way of working is changing. The perception of our role in companies and agencies is fundamentally transforming. What additional 'hats' can help us? What tools and networks do we need? That's exactly what we want to discuss at WUD 2025.
Our approach: Practice meets innovation
Experience meets newcomers: Seasoned professionals and fresh designers share their perspectives
Hands-on instead of theory: Interactive sessions invite participation
Diverse topics: From administrative processes to sharenting to future roles in design
Room for exchange: Networking with experts and like-minded individuals from various industries
