About Advancing Research

Advancing Research is Rosenfeld Media's flagship conference for user experience and design researchers. The programme covers research methods, strategy, operations, and the changing role of research within product organisations.

Sessions bring together research leaders and practitioners to examine how teams generate insight, demonstrate impact, and adapt their practice as artificial intelligence reshapes how research is planned and conducted.

It is one of the principal dedicated gatherings for the user research community, with a senior, specialist audience.
