Attending Shift UX 2026 remotely? Here’s your virtual social events rundown

On September 23-25, we’re bringing together professionals who currently work as designers, researchers, product managers, content designers, data scientists, and adjacent practitioners who know UX is more important than ever—even as traditional UX roles blur or disappear.

We just announced a killer schedule of activities for our in-person attendees, but that doesn’t mean we’re skimping on the experience for our remote conference-goers!

The highlights of the Shift UX 2026 conference aren’t limited to the stage…It’s in the connections you’ll make!

See what we have in store for all of our remote attendees on the first day of the conference, September 24:

Pre-conference Warmup

9:30-10:0am: Kick the day off with an informal virtual warm-up session, hosted by virtual emcee Frances Yllana. Come say hello, meet fellow remote attendees, and get comfortable before the day’s programming begins—pet photos highly encouraged. No agenda, no pressure, just a friendly way to feel like part of the room even when you’re not in it.

Cozy Juicy Real virtual boardgame/networking session

5:15-6:30pm: Whether you’re looking to expand your network, meet your next client, or connect with collaborators, this is your opportunity to make it happen.

You’ll experience Cozy Juicy Real, a simple, effective board game that’s been played in 71 countries. It’s proven to create stronger team bonds at the world’s most successful organizations—including Google, Adobe, and the UN.

“You will connect. Cozy Juicy Real is the best way to foster connection online.”
– Marcia Goddard, Chief Culture Officer, The Contentment Foundation
