Game UX friends - San Francisco meetup 2026

Hi everyone!

Organizing an informal meetup with a few UX gamedev friends to answer questions and hopefully give networking opportunities for young or aspiring game UX folks, especially for marginalized people who don't have a strong network of their own. Let's just meet on the lawn in the center of Yerba Buena Gardens! (I'll be wearing a beige hat)

Please join if you are a junior/aspiring game UX professional, or a marginalized UX professional seeking mentorship or guidance.

This year's event is organized in collaboration with UI Peeps, a global community for UX and UI designers in game development. It’s a place to share knowledge, get feedback, and grow together. Founded by Stephan Dube, a 25 year AAA industry veteran, and supported by moderator Kat Craig, UI Peeps brings designers together who genuinely care about their craft and their careers. Jump into UI Peeps Discord and find all their socials here:

Confirmed gamedev pros who will be there to provide guidande and answer questions:

• Kat Craig, she/her (UI Peeps): https://www.linkedin.com/in/katacraig/
• Stephan Dube, he/him (UI Peeps): https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephandube/
• Alister Lee, he/him (UX designer): https://www.linkedin.com/in/alisterlee/

If it's sold out, just show up and/or connect with me (Celia Hodent) on Linkedin for updates! I'll also organize an online version in a couple of weeks.

Cheers,

Celia, founder & chair of the Game UX Summit, founder of Ethical Games.
