World Usability Day 2026
November 12, 2026 – Designing a Sustainable Future with Ethical AI
Paulinum – Auditorium and St. Pauli University Church
This marks the 10th time we’ve hosted World Usability Day in Leipzig—an anniversary that highlights just how vibrant the UX and design community is in our city. And once again, we’ll be celebrating at a special venue: on November 12 at the Paulinum at the University of Leipzig.
In 2026, the WUD will focus on a question that concerns us all: How do we design technology that truly makes a positive impact? AI makes knowledge more accessible, participation more tangible, and opens up entirely new ways to address societal challenges. At the same time, it raises genuine ethical questions about values, responsibility, resource consumption, and fairness—issues we shouldn’t leave to technology alone. That’s exactly what we want to discuss with you: openly, critically, and with a passion for design. Whether it’s a lecture, workshop, or creative format, every perspective is welcome at WUD Leipzig—from design, development, research, and society.
Come on by, bring your ideas, and celebrate 10 years of WUD in Leipzig with us!
