IXD2 Annual Conference

One Evening. One Community. Zero Cost.

On Friday, September 25, 2026, Interaction Design Detroit — IXD2 — returns for an evening devoted to the three things our community does best: digital craft, culture, and connection. And here's the best part: it's completely free to attend.

Every year, IXD2 brings together an outstanding group of people from Detroit, the greater Midwest, and around the world to present, participate, and connect. Designers, developers, students, educators, and creative leaders all share one room and one goal — to grow our skills, swap honest stories, and strengthen the community that makes this work worth doing. If you've been to IXD2 before, you know the energy. If you haven't, this is your year.

Keynote case studies. Leading practitioners walk through real projects — the decisions, the trade-offs, the breakthroughs. No polished portfolio theater; just honest looks at how great digital work actually gets made.
