WHAT IS UX UTSAV? An intensive User Experience Design Conference for professionals and the first event of its kind to be held in India, UX Utsav will be two full days of inspirational talks and hands-on workshops presented by top, international UX experts.

Usability and Accessibility are still relatively new disciplines in India and despite its vast IT industry there is huge demand for professional skills in User Experience and Human Computer Interaction to meet the increasing urgency for growth in this area.

UX Utsav provides a golden opportunity to fill this knowledge gap. Attendees will be taught via practical, in-depth workshops and seminars, and will leave equipped with the full range of skills required to create compelling and positive user experiences.
