It's easy to understand why 49% of researchers are feeling bad vibes about the future: Balancing the demand for more insights with fewer resources and the evolution of potentially game-changing—yet unproven–technologies can feel overwhelming.
YouX is designed for you—whether you’re just starting or steadily climbing the ladder—to learn, get inspired, and grow. Join us as we bring the leading voices in research together to tackle the most important topics today and place the focus back on YOU, helping you gain greater perspective—and stability—in turbulent times.
We’re not getting just any speakers, we’re getting THE speakers who are setting the strategy and the tone for what’s to come.
We share your questions with guests, shout you out, and offer live networking rooms for you to make new connections and grow your network. This is not a passive broadcast.
Enough talk about theory, let’s put something to work for us. You won’t regret any time spent at YouX and we’re confident you’ll wish it didn’t end.
Giveaways, trivia, music, we will have it all. Going digital means more folks can join, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy ourselves.
AI is truly a disruptive force, causing researchers to rethink their craft, teams to review their capabilities, and companies to revise their strategies. Simply put: our relationship to “research” work will change. In this keynote, Dr. Fiore-Gartland shares ways we can make sense of this disruption to better anticipate and plan for the future of research, work, and experiences.
Where is research headed? In many ways, it’s already here. As demand for fast, trustworthy human insights surges, the tool stack is evolving—smarter, more integrated, and AI-native. Learn what full-cycle agentic workflows mean for researchers, why quality human input matters more than ever, and how this shift will redefine the way teams learn, build, and innovate.
The job description of a “researcher” is steadily evolving. So, too is the mission of a research team or function. Without throughlines or commonalities, it can feel overwhelming—for both job seekers and those building teams. In this panel discussion, senior leaders share insights on both sides: their philosophies for hiring and developing ICs today, and how they are building a team for tomorrow.
What does an effective UX portfolio look like today? If you’re not entirely sure, it’s likely time for an audit. In this workshop, Sarah will share an audit template and guide attendees through the six key questions you should be asking—and re-asking—to ensure you’re refining your UX portfolio for both today and tomorrow.
Being a team-of-one comes with unique challenges and opportunities, but so does scaling as a Research Director. In this fireside conversation, we’ll explore the full spectrum, including: building a culture around research rigor, winning influence, and questions to ask when choosing between senior IC and management tracks.
