What makes this conference special
Once a year, we invite learning experience designers from all over the world to join us for three days of talks, workshops and engagin activities.
It's part of our mission at LXD.org to spread learning experience design and offer valuable resources and opportunities to develop your design skills.
Serving a global audience can be tricky for several reasons. As participants live in different time zones, our program is spread out over three days. This ensures anyone can enjoy live sessions. For the sessions you can't make, you can watch the recordings.
An international audience also means fair ticket prices. Some have less to spend than others which is why we stick to affordable prices and organise LXDCON as a not-for-profit event. It is free of sponsors so, no sales pitches.
If you've been to one (or more) of our events, you know it's a special occasion. We are looking forward to seeing you again!
If you haven't attended our conference, satisfy your curiosity and grab a ticket. We look can't wait to welcome you to LXDCON'26!
History of LXDCON
In 2025 we celebrated a decade of learning experience design (LXD) events with LXDCON'25. A milestone moment that causes for a special celebration.
Right now we are preparing for the eleventh annual learning experience design conference which will take place from June 16 to 18 2026. Let's take a look at how we got this far!
Over the past ten years we have organised LXD conferences in Europe, Asia and South America. Our goal is, and has always been, to facilitate meaningful interaction between members of the LXD community and offer an unforgettable experience.
With both in-person and online events we've reached thousands of people across the globe. That's what we wil continue to do today and hopefully for another decade. A huge thank you to all the speakers, volunteers and the participants for making LXDCON special.
How it all started.
In 2016 we organised the first ever LXD conference in the world. At the time, few people knew about this field and even less people understood what it was about. That's the main reason we decided to host an event and see who would show up.
Turnout was better than expected and we sold out all tickets. An exciting mix of educators and designers gathered to explore how to (re)shape the way we learn in a creative and empathic way. We knew we were on to something!
There was a sense of belonging for all who feel that learning can and should be designed differently. That feeling has been at the heart of each event we've organised ever since.
Be a part of the LXD movement!
Meeting up with LXD enthusiasts from all corners of the world is the best part of our events. That personal connection and shared passion of LXD is priceless. That's why we are so excited to offer a hybrid format this year!
Besides our annual conferences, we also host monthly LXD meet-ups for free! It's our way of giving back to the community and offering a moment to connect outside of LXDCON. Be sure to register for one of the upcoming meet-ups.
Thank you for being a part of this incredible community and we hope to welcome you to LXDCON'26!
