Completely ripped off and copied from @wnathanlee's question, but I thought it was such a good question I wanted to do a UK version...

I know there are some great conferences/sessions/symposiums/seminars out there on the subject of User Interface Design and Web Usability. If I had to pick one to go to within the next year, which one should it be? And why?

A few disclaimers:

  • I would be restricted to a conference inside the United Kingdom
  • Recommendations based on experience of actually attending are preferred
  • One conference per answer, please

    @Charles this is not a UI related question. It is a question directed at the UI community. and btw "because that's how Stack Overflow does things" is a valid response IMO

    @Charles The practice of making "list" questions CW is well established on UI at this point. ui.stackexchange.com/search?q=wiki%3A1 You make a good point though. It should be added to the FAQ.

    None of this discussion belongs on this question. The original issue with CW should have been asked on Meta along with the discussion regarding UI/UX/User Interface semantics. If you feel that you can contribute the community, you should follow the correct procedure. Being argumentative rarely achieves anything.

Haven't been to it in the UK specifically, but Usability Week is always a good conference, and it is in Edinburgh in late October.

I've thoroughly enjoyed the two UXCampLondons I attended in 2009/2010.

You can look at the presentations from the 2010 event (hover over the picture for links to the slides).

Had a fantastic time, met a bunch of really nice people, put real faces to some folk I'd only talked to online, and learned a lot. Recommended.

It's not specifically a UI/UX conference but the DIBI Conference (Design It, Build It) certainly has elements of User Focused designed in all of its talks. I went to the one last year and found it really inspiring.
