World Interaction Design Day is a global celebration of interaction design's ability to improve the human condition. This includes presentations, workshops, and design showcases focused on elevating the work of interaction designers, and knowledge sharing. We marked World Interaction Design Day 2023 on 26 September.

World Interaction Design Day is first-and-foremost for interaction designers; events will focus on the practice of creating interactive digital products, environments, and services. If you're not an interaction designer, you're still very welcome to attend an event; developers, academics, students, and designers from other disciplines will certainly find many of our events interesting and empowering.

Ethics, Equity, and Responsibility. Our 2023 theme encompassed areas such as ethics in design, designing for accessibility, inclusive and responsible design, and anti-capitalist design. It focused on the need to consider the design’s impact on society and to create work that is equitable and responsible, all in service of advancing IxDA’s mission: improving the human condition by advancing the practice of Interaction Design.

World Interaction Design Day celebrated our fifth anniversary in 2022. Check the Highlights from our last five years — you'll find videos along with articles and blog posts from our global community.
