1Virtual Training Event Details
The NN/g UX Conference is scheduled to run from January 19 through February 1, 2027. This virtual event offers live courses led by industry experts and invited speakers. Participants can attend from their home or office, engaging in interactive sessions designed to improve professional design practices and research methodologies.
2Course Structure and Requirements
Each course consists of two 3.5-hour live sessions held on consecutive days. Attendance on both days is mandatory for eligibility to take the certification exam. Participants may choose to enroll in a single course or up to five, allowing for a flexible schedule tailored to individual professional development needs.
3Certification and Specialty Tracks
Attendees can earn a UX Certificate by passing exams for any five courses. Furthermore, completing five courses within a specific topic qualifies participants for specialty recognition. While certification is optional, it serves as a credential to reinforce learning and increase professional credibility within the competitive field of user experience design.
4Focus on AI Integration
The curriculum emphasizes leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance creativity, efficiency, and design impact. Specific sessions cover the responsible use of AI tools, building systems that support AI design outputs, and navigating the complexities of AI-driven products. These modules aim to help designers adapt as AI continues to reshape the industry.
5Interactive Learning Environment
The event utilizes Zoom for live instruction and Slack for social networking and discussion. Breakout rooms facilitate small-group activities, which are central to the instructional approach. Because these sessions rely heavily on real-time audience interaction, recordings are not provided, ensuring that the collaborative value of the live experience is maintained.

Registration fees are processed via credit card or bank transfer, with discounts available for multiple course enrollments and early bird sign-ups. Exams can be taken on the day of the course or within 35 calendar days afterward. Cancellations are subject to a 20% handling fee if requested by January 8, 2027.
7Professional Skill Development
Beyond AI, the conference covers essential topics such as quantitative research metrics, cross-functional journey-centric design, and leadership skills for UX professionals. Participants learn to organize information for better discoverability, persuade stakeholders with research findings, and apply psychological principles to predict user behavior, ensuring a comprehensive approach to modern product development.
