World Interaction Design Day (#IxDD) is IxDA's annual event where we come together as a united global community to show how interaction design improves the human condition. Our aim is to have a positive, long-lasting impact by facilitating activities that support dialogue and outcomes.
This year’s theme encompasses areas such as ethics in design, designing for accessibility, inclusive and responsible design, and anti-capitalist design. It focuses on the need to consider design’s impact on society and to create work that is equitable and responsible, all in service of advancing IxDA’s mission: improving the human condition by advancing the practice of Interaction Design.
In 2023, we are building on five years of organizing local meetups around the globe — both in person or online. Join us in bringing our 2023 program to life.
World Interaction Design Day is a global celebration of interaction design's ability to improve the human condition. This includes presentations, workshops, and design showcases focused on elevating the work of interaction designers, and knowledge sharing. We'll mark the next World Interaction Design Day on 26 September 2023.
World Interaction Design Day is first-and-foremost for interaction designers; events will focus on the practice of creating interactive digital products, environments, and services. If you're not an interaction designer, you're still very welcome to attend an event; developers, academics, students, and designers from other disciplines will certainly find many of our events interesting and empowering.
