About Swell AI x UX Summit

Swell, styled as the Swell AI x UX Summit, is a curated invitation-only summit focused on the intersection of artificial intelligence and user experience.

It gathers around one hundred AI builders, founders, product and UX leaders, researchers and investors around the idea that how AI is experienced matters as much as what it can do.

The programme mixes talks, panels and roundtables on generative interfaces, AI product research, trust and design ethics, and creative tooling.

It is small, curated and venture-firm run rather than an open public conference.
