Let's make UXcamp Europe greener
Since UXcamp Europe 19, we've been working to understand and reduce the ecological footprint of our conference. While we've made meaningful progress, we recognize there's still much more to be done.
Our goal is to create a truly sustainable conference experience.
Following two years of virtual events, we're now expanding our sustainability efforts as we return to an in-person UXcamp Europe. These steps are part of an ongoing journey—and while the work is never truly finished, we believe each action brings us closer to a more responsible and eco-conscious event.

FAQ
Is this really necessary?
We believe it is, yes. Without wanting to rehash the whole debate on climate change, we believe that we can do our small part to save the planet for the future.
What can I do?
We are glad you asked! By far the biggest factor at any event is travel. If it is possible for you, please come to Berlin by train. If you have to fly to Berlin, please consider offsetting your CO2 emissions. While you are in Berlin, use public transport, which is not only more sustainable but also cheaper.
Is that all you will do?
No, it is not. We are always looking for new ideas, so please write to us if you think we are missing something.
