UX Brighton 2026: Emerging Methods — find out what’s worth trying next
UX Brighton returns to the Brighton Dome on Friday 6 November with a theme that feels purpose-built for the current moment: Emerging Methods.
The team has gathered practitioners experimenting at the edges of UX, ready to cut through the noise and tell you what’s actually working. Confirmed speakers include Vivek Gopinath (Lead User Researcher at IBM, specialising in ML-driven UX innovation), Prama Ayalasomayajula (leading research at HubSpot, writing for UX Collective and Mind the Product), and Chiara Scarabotti (UX Lead at Springer Nature, focused on untangling complex systems).
The promise is practical: leave with a clearer sense of which new approaches deserve your attention, which borrowed techniques translate well to UX, and which old methods are finally practical. Whether you’re a researcher, designer or developer, the aim is to send you home knowing exactly where to focus next.
