AiX Conference | AI & Design Conference | Newcastle

Join AiX Conference, the AI & Design conference in Newcastle on 21 April 2027. Hear from industry leaders. AI is changing how design work is done. AiX is a day for the people navigating it. AiX is a brand-new, one-day, single-track conference at the intersection of AI and Design — the first of its kind in the North East of England. Join designers, product teams, founders, and curious minds at The Catalyst on Newcastle Helix to learn how real product teams are actually using AI in their work. Tools, workflows, and expectations are evolving faster than teams can adapt. Design is no longer just UI, Figma, and the double diamond — it now spans systems, agents, prompts, and AI-assisted design tools. There's no playbook, and everyone is experimenting in isolation. AiX exists to change that. The day covers three areas: 🛠 AI in Practice — how product teams are designing with AI today: real workflows, real tools, real constraints 🧩 Adaptive Design Systems — moving from static systems to AI-driven, adaptive ones 🔮 The Future Designer — what the designer's role becomes as the craft is redefined Who it's for: product designers, UX/UI designers, design leads, product managers, founders, and engineers working closely with design. The details: 📅 Wednesday 21 April 2027 🕘 9:00am – 4:30pm 📍 The Catalyst, Newcastle Helix, Newcastle upon Tyne 🎟 One day, one track — no FOMO between rooms Speaker announcements are rolling out over the coming months — follow this page and subscribe at aixconf.co.uk to hear them first.
