Something is happening in the UX job market right now
Something is happening in the UX job market right now and most people are not talking about it directly.
Applications are going out. Responses are not coming back. Practitioners with real experience are finding themselves in a market that seems to have quietly rewritten its rules without telling anyone. It is not about effort. It is not about talent. It is about knowing how to position yourself inside an economy that has already moved on.
That is exactly what this workshop was built to address.
Upskill AI: Repositioning For The New Economy July 23, 2026 · 12 to 4PM · Silver Spring Civic Building, MD
Four hours. Your real resume. Your real pitch. Real AI tools. A room full of UX practitioners who are done waiting for the market to come back to them and ready to meet it where it actually is.
Led by Jake DiBattista, Evan Katz, and Yao Adantor, three founders who have built, hired, and navigated this economy from the inside. They are not teaching theory. They are teaching what is actually working right now.
You will not leave with notes. You will leave with a finished output, sharper positioning, and one clear next step you identified before you walked out the door.
Spots are limited and this one will fill.
And if July is where the work starts, October is where the community comes together.
UXCON26 · October 8
Don Norman coined the term user experience. He is 88 years old, still publishing, still pushing, and he will be in the room with this community on October 8. Alongside him: practitioners from Netflix, The New York Times, Target, UserTesting, and Skylight doing the highest level work in the field right now.
One day. Eleven speakers. The conversations this community has been waiting to have out loud.
The community is moving. Both of these rooms are part of that movement.
