Where to Find Key Resources on the UXPA Website (Events, News, Journal, Sponsorship)

Updated

The UXPA International website (uxpa.org) organizes its main resources around four areas: event registration, news subscription, the Journal of User Experience (JUX), and sponsorship. The homepage surfaces all four, so you can reach each one without hunting through menus. Below is where each entry point sits and what you'll find there.

Event Registration

The homepage leads with the next major event and an open registration link:

  • "Get ready for September 25, 2026 — Registration is open!" appears as the top banner.
  • Two "Learn More" links and a "Register Here" link sit alongside it.

Use "Learn More" to read event details first, or "Register Here" to go straight to sign-up. If you're planning travel or a budget request, start with "Learn More" to confirm dates and format before registering.

News Subscription

To receive UXPA updates by email:

  • Look for "Subscribe to receive UXPA news!" on the homepage.
  • Select "Sign Up Here" to enter the subscription flow.

This is the general news list, separate from event registration. Subscribing keeps you informed about award announcements, volunteer spotlights, and new journal issues without having to check the site.

Journal of User Experience (JUX)

JUX is UXPA's peer-reviewed publication, and the current issue is linked directly from the homepage:

  • Volume 21, Issue 3 is described as "now available."
  • A "Read the latest issue" link takes you to the full contents.

That issue includes:

Item Author / Topic
May 2026 essay "The Explosion of AI-Powered Research Tools Is Reshaping UX Practice," by Jeff Sokolov
Research paper A structured six-step methodology for creating and validating mindsets from qualitative data (cybersecurity, small businesses)
Research paper Mixed-methods research on how variation in aesthetics and beauty affects digital experiences

If you're deciding whether JUX is worth your time: it mixes practitioner-facing essays with formal research papers, so it suits both people applying methods and those studying them.

Awards, Volunteer Roles, and Sponsorship

Beyond the four core entries, the homepage also points to community and commercial resources:

  • Awards — "Congratulations to Our 2026 UXPA International Awardees" (July 20, 2026) covers recognition of members who contribute in special ways. UXPA has formally honored such contributors since 2005.
  • Volunteer spotlights — profiles of members in specific roles, such as EJ Makela (UXPA International Webinar Coordinator) and Anamol Rajbhandari (UXPA 2026 UX Strategy Topic Chair). These show the kinds of volunteer positions available.
  • Sponsorship — a "Sponsorship Opportunities" link appears in the footer area for organizations interested in supporting UXPA.

One note on cost: the site shows a Checkout link and uses the word "subscribe," but the homepage excerpt doesn't state prices or whether any of these resources are free. Confirm terms on the relevant page before assuming access is open.
