Design events not to be missed in 2025

The digital design industry in Spain is constantly evolving. Over the years, we have seen key design events rise and fall, leaving an important legacy in the digital design community. Historic events such as UX Spain or MADinSpain played a crucial role in the growth of the sector, offering spaces for sharing innovation, learning and connecting with the community. Although these events are no longer held, they have been opening space for new proposals and formats.

This year 2025 we have a series of technology events in Spain that include specific content on digital design, UX/UI, branding, motion graphics and accessibility.
