Let's Meet Up Virtually: UX Research Meetup & Event Guide February 2026

February 2, 2026

Check out the virtual talks, meetups, networking events, and conferences around UX Research coming up in February!

This guide focuses on pure UX Research events and doesn’t include general UX events on purpose. We also focus primarily on events that are held in English. Most of these meetups are free, but there are also some that have a fee.

Did we miss one? Let us know via hello@condens.io and we'll be happy to add it!

As most of the events allow virtual participation worldwide, we've included details on main talk times in different time zones. Here’s what the emojis mean:
