Systems in FLUX: Designing What Comes After

April 17–18, 2026 | Siebel Center for Design, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign

The future of design is being rewritten in real time. As technology evolves and intelligent systems enter our workflows, UX professionals are not only designing for humans, but with machines — redefining creativity, authorship, and collaboration itself.

This year’s UX Days explores how designers work within, against, and beyond the systems that shape our world — from institutional and technological frameworks to cultural and ethical ones. Together, we’ll ask: What do we keep, what do we break, and what must we rebuild to create more equitable, adaptive, and human futures?

Through keynotes, workshops, and conversations, UX Days 2026 bridges the visionary and the practical, inviting students, educators, and professionals to explore how design can remain human-centered in an age of systemic change.
