UX Australia

📣 Important UX Australia 2024 Announcement We have made the difficult decision to cancel UX Australia 2024. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, ticket sales, sponsorship, and general support for the conference have been significantly impacted, and we are aware that we are not alone in facing these challenges. We had hoped that the easing of COVID-19 restrictions would lead to a resurgence in attendance and interest. However, two years of high inflation, industry job losses, and reduced training budgets have resulted in our operations continuing at levels well below sustainability. On a more positive note, we have observed that our communities across the country are being well-served by a remarkable array of local meetups and events—a landscape that has evolved significantly since we first launched this conference in 2009. While we will not convene this August, you're likely to see us at a local event well before then. We are considering a potential return in 2025, but that’s a decision for later in the year. Full refunds will be issued to all ticket holders in the next fortnight. We will reach out to you directly to facilitate this process. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone for the incredible support UX Australia has received over the last 15 years. Hundreds of speakers and thousands of attendees have come together to create a truly wonderful atmosphere – we’re sorry we won’t be able to bring you together this year.
