GENUX Boston is an annual symposium that brings together Boston and the New England area minds in User Experience: UX/UI design, development, and social science research.
In our third year we are serving as a place to share insights, explore emerging tools, and shape the future of user-centered digital and physical experiences that are continuously interconnected. As we look to the 2025 conference, AI has moved from an emerging tool to a collaborative force—blurring boundaries between disciplines, reshaping workflows, and redefining the creative process itself. We coalesce to create.
Speakers invited to participate are experts within the UXUI design, research, social science and technology fields. You'll have an opportunity to genuinely connect with practitioners in the field, learn about ideas to explore further, and get excited with exchange of ideas to help you be smarter than when you walked in the door.
🎟️ Special Workshop Ticket Add-On | Designing with AI: Hands-On Product Prototyping with Artificial Intelligence ft. Alex Carr
Join us for an interactive workshop designed for digital product and UX designers who want to start integrating AI into their design process. In “Designing with AI,” you’ll learn how to use tools like Lovable, Claude, and the Figma MCP server to transform your design ideas into interactive prototypes. We’ll explore prompt writing, iterative workflows, and the theory behind AI as a collaborative tool rather than a replacement for human creativity. By the end of the session, you’ll have a better grasp of how to start incorporating these tools into your design practice—enhancing your work without outsourcing your design thinking.
You do not need any prior coding experience to join this workshop, but you will need a local, desktop version of Figma (not in a browser), a laptop, and a basic experience with Figma.
