We are presently living in exciting times, with a multitude of sources for entertainment, consumption, experiences, and spectacular stories. The 21st century has been labeled as an experience economy with a seemingly thriving, hot market, showing growth in both supply and demand of the goods in question: experiences. Eyes on UX draws the attention to one aspect of these activities in particular, namely the user experience of media – content, design, marketing and branding as well as technology.

The conference Eyes on User Experience is no ordinary conference. It is a hybrid between a creative brainstorm, intensive networking, entertainment, and a regular conference. Eyes on UX provides opportunities to exchange ideas, find exactly the people you will benefit from networking with, and at the same time give you a stimulating experience in terms of conference content, innovative features, and an entertaining environment. We see user experience (UX) as being dependent on human needs. Therefore, the format of Eyes on UX is concentrating on three specific needs, which we see relevant for participating in a conference: stimulation, relatedness, and competence. Conference activities aim at enhancing and facilitating these three dimensions.
