About
Us by Night is more than just a festival—it’s a three-night theme park for creatives, built from scratch within a concrete warehouse the size of a football field. Featuring three stages, a club, a bustling night market, and more, the event gathers over 60 world-class speakers, live artists, and music to create an atmosphere overflowing with inspiration.
Our speakers represent a wide variety of disciplines, including art, graphic design, illustration, photography, 3D, film and animation, architecture and spatial design, fashion, technology, digital culture, and storytelling. We intentionally blend diverse disciplines to challenge our attendees to seek inspiration beyond their areas of expertise. This cross-pollination fosters an environment where creatives from around the world cultivate new collaborations and ideas.
Every detail at Us by Night is designed to make you feel comfortable and empowered to be your best self. Through all sorts of playful interactions, we encourage you to connect, collaborate, and build lasting friendships with creatives from around the world. Ask past attendees about their biggest takeaway, and they’ll tell you they left reenergized. Young creatives are inspired by role models who share their vulnerabilities, making icons more relatable and unlocking creative potential. Whether you’re starting a new project or seeking fresh ideas, this is the place to be.
The Main Stage is exactly what it should be—a black box designed for pure focus, immersing you completely in the talks. With a massive, ultra-crisp screen, every detail is sharp, every idea amplified. No distractions—just deep dives into creativity, innovation, and inspiration—plus, drinks on demand!
If there’s one thing that truly sets Us by Night apart, it’s the Nightmarket—our festival’s beating heart. Chaotic, noisy, vibrant, and full of surprises. It’s a giant designer block party, where we unleash creativity with live artists and massive LED towers displaying curated art, immersive installations, arcade games, music, and neon-lit ping-pong battles. Taste delicious local food, unwind with a relaxing massage, get a tattoo, or engage with interactive art experiences! Beyond the Main Stage, the Nightmarket also houses two additional stages, seamlessly blending into the setting, less formal, more immersive.
When midnight arrives, Us by Night transforms. The central stage evolves into the XYZ Club, an audiovisual spectacle beneath a colossal 6-meter-wide disco ball, featuring live music performances. Legendary lighting maestros Arf & Yes craft a mesmerizing dreamscape where sound and visuals merge in perfect harmony.
