Lagos will host Think UX 2026 on Saturday, November 7, bringing together designers, technology professionals, product developers, founders and creative practitioners to explore the future of user experience design amid advancements in artificial intelligence.
Organised by UX Thrive, the conference will take place at Tripple C Event Centre, Sabo Yaba, under the theme “UX in the Era of AI.” The event will examine how emerging technologies are influencing digital product development, changing professional responsibilities and creating new opportunities for people working in design and technology.
The discussions come as artificial intelligence continues to influence how digital products are developed and how users interact with them. For professionals working in user experience design, the growing adoption of AI tools raises important questions about creativity, accessibility, problem-solving and the skills required to deliver effective digital experiences.
Think UX 2026 to Examine AI’s Impact on Design Careers
The programme for Think UX 2026 will feature keynote presentations, panel discussions, practical masterclasses and interactive sessions designed to encourage learning and professional exchange.
Participants will explore how artificial intelligence can support design processes while considering the importance of human judgment in developing products that respond to real user needs.
A major focus will be the changing responsibilities of designers as AI-powered tools become part of everyday workflows. While technology can assist with certain tasks, professionals must continue to understand user behaviour, identify problems and make decisions that improve the overall experience of digital products.
The conference will also examine how designers can adapt their skills to remain relevant as the industry evolves. These conversations will provide an opportunity for experienced professionals and emerging practitioners to consider how technological developments may influence their careers.
