Sensing the Future: Where AI Meets UX

Exploring the future of usability and human-centered design in the age of AI.

Technology keeps moving forward. AI predicts, generates, and automates like never before.

But even in a world full of increasingly 'smart' systems, users still get lost. Why? Because usability isn’t just about performance or efficiency, it’s about empathy, clarity, and the invisible bridges between humans and technology.

That’s what this event is all about: bringing usability and human-centered thinking back to the center of innovation.

We’ll explore how empathy shapes design decisions, how AI can enhance (or harm) human understanding, and why usability remains the foundation of every great digital experience.

Through real stories, honest reflections, and bold perspectives, our speakers will share what it really means to design products that feel intelligent and human.

Three inspiring talks. One roundtable with passionate minds in UX and design. Plenty of insights, real experiences, and ideas you can take back to your own work.

Are you ready?
