UX+ is an conference for aspiring and seasoned User Experience professionals.
We invite speakers that are the most renowned UX practitioners and designers, from Southeast Asia all the way to Silicon Valley. This allows our attendees to hear from different point of views, from successful local startups to the most influential firms around the world.
