Us by Night

Us by Night Us By Night is a design & creativity festival turned into a unique nocturnal experience, spanning over 3 nights. Last year was overwhelming!! Let’s do this!!

Come join us and 60+ speakers for a touch of contemporary nightlife. We flipped the script and turned a design conference into a unique nightlife experience. Besides our dream line-up of +40 speakers, we added a "Bangkok meets TimesSquare" nightmarket with food stalls, arcade games, ping pong tables, air hockey, huge LED walls, a Q&A saloon, etc. It turned out to be a big hit. 4000 attendees and a

ll the enthusiasts kept asking the same question, what about 2017? We are now super psyched to announce that we will continue under the name 'Us by Night' for the coming years. We will never stop innovating, this was only the start and the new line up is already blowing up, more about this soon! Register on the website to stay informed!! Love, Us by Night team

YOUR WORK. PRINTED BIG. FOR FREE. 🖨️

This year we’re bringing a massive swissQprint flatbed printer right into the Nightmarket and we’re putting it to work.

Submit your design, illustration, photograph or artwork and we’ll print it live as a B1 poster, completely free.

Take it home, or grab some paste and add it to our gigantic 70m wheatpasting wall.

And that wall is going to keep evolving throughout the three nights. Alongside your work, we’ll be printing work from UBN artists, fresh festival imagery and portraits shot live in Craig Fleming’s Portrait Studio.

Basically: three nights of making, printing, pasting and watching one enormous wall slowly take over.

Submit via “Print Your Poster” at usbynight.be.

While paper lasts. Don’t worry, we ordered a lot. ;-)

🚨🚨🚨 BIG ONE!

Our final addition to this insane 2026 lineup… 🔥

Our dear friend Ruben Beddeleem at Google, who has already helped bring some incredible people to the Us By Night stage over the years, highly recommended . Not only because of his incredible talent, but also because he’s simply one of the nicest people you’ll meet.
Then we discovered we had already crossed paths years ago at Nike 👟, together with the amazing Michaelspo23 from Nike Brand Design, who was also behind some of the most legendary appearances on our stage.

There were just too many signs not to make this happen. ✨

is a creative director from Montreal, based in Paris 🇫🇷. He currently collaborates with Pharell Willams at Louis Vuitton, 𝐍𝐈𝐆𝐎® at KENZO, and Chitose Abe at sacaiofficial across image-making, runway shows, and collections.

Trust us… you’re going to want a front-row seat for this one. 🎤👀❤️

We promised to make the final additions to our 2026 lineup something special… ✨

Well… here we are. 🍎

Please give an enormous Us By Night welcome to Media Arts Lab. (TBWA\Media Arts Labb)⚡️

Media Arts Lab is the agency that works exclusively with Apple. They’ve been responsible for some of Apple’s most iconic global campaigns, creating work that has shaped how millions of people experience one of the world’s most influential brands. Their storytelling, craft, and obsessive attention to detail continue to set the standard for creative excellence.

Earlier this year, we ran into James Taylor James Taylor 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇸 ), Global Head of Design at Media Arts Lab, at Cannes Lions, just after the agency had won the Grand Prix 🏆 for the Apple TV brand refresh. There was only one possible question:
“Would you consider speaking at Us By Night?”

Thankfully, the answer was yes. 🙌

For the past five years, James has built and led the design function across Media Arts Lab’s global network, working directly alongside Apple’s in-house creative teams on some of the most scrutinized creative work in the world. Before that, his career spanned more than two decades across boutique studios and global agencies, including creating the inaugural identity for Zaha Hadid Architects.

What fascinates us most isn’t just the award-winning work, it’s everything that happens behind the scenes. 👀 How do you build creativity inside an agency that operates under extraordinary secrecy?

We’re incredibly honored to welcome James and Media Arts Lab to Antwerp.

Let’s make sure they never forget Us By Night. ❤️🔥
