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

Four GOATs. One table. One LEGO World Cup trophy. 🐐🧱⚽️

If you’ve been anywhere near the internet lately, chances are you’ve seen LEGO’s brilliant FIFA World Cup campaign, “Everyone Wants a Piece.”

Behind it: Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam — and Associate Creative Director Dasha Ovechkina (Dasha Ovechkina), joining us Us By Night - Antwerp this September. 🔥

Dasha started her creative career in Ekaterinburg before moving to the Netherlands and joining W+K Amsterdam in 2018. Since then, she’s worked across LEGO, Nike, Balenciaga, Hennessy, Hublot, Samsung and KFC — and somehow still hasn’t learned how to ride a bike. 🚲

In 2025, she was named a Next Creative Leader by The One Club, with work recognised at Cannes Lions, D&AD, The One Show, The Webby Awards, Eurobest, CLIO and many more.

This September, Dasha brings Wieden+Kennedy Amsterdam to Antwerp.

See you at Us By Night.

THE LEGENDARY US BY NIGHT CLOSING PARTY 🔥

Saturday night, we’re ending Us By Night the only way we know how.

So Me is back (SO ME ✍🏼 🎬🎨). His 2025 talk at UBN was a highlight for many, diving into the history of Ed Banger, Justice, the infamous 2006 MTV EMAs incident with Kanye West, and so much more. Followed by an unexpected DJ set that turned into something absolutely epic. Bringing him back was a no-brainer. Bertrand, welcome again! ❤️

Bibi Seck (Bibi Seck) is an absolute legend in Belgium and far beyond. We’ve been trying to get hold of her for several editions, and this year we were finally in time. Very, very proud to have her with us. Goosebumps already. 🥹

And then… Borokov Borokov (Borokov Borokov). After three nights of being somewhat tamed as hosts of our Teatro Stage, we’ll finally release the beasts into the XYZ Club for their unmatched live performance. 🐗💥

One more detail: this year, the club zone is being taken care of by Studio Raito (Studio Raito), yes, the crew heavily involved with Dekmantel. 🔊

SO ME. BIBI SECK. BOROKOV BOROKOV.

This is where we build Us By Night. From scratch.

I wanted to show you the completely empty warehouse before we start building. Turns out there was an electric go-kart event happening inside. 😅 They couldn’t turn on the lights, so… obviously I asked if I could borrow a kart.

Welcome to the future Us By Night Nightmarket.

In just over two weeks, this empty concrete warehouse will become a completely different world: Stadium Stage, Teatro stage, XYZ club, Portrait Studio, live printing, a 70m wheatpasting wall, tattoos , massage, screenings, digital graffiti , arcade games, ping pong, food, installations, DJs and a whole lot more.

And what you see here is only half of the venue.

The Teatro Stage sits in another huge hall behind this one. This year we’re completely reimagining it, with a scaffolding balcony wrapping around the entire hall, created in collaboration with and doubling as their exhibition space between the talks.

That’s maybe one of our favourite things about Us By Night. We don’t move into a festival venue. We build the whole damn thing.

From nothing.

Two weeks to go. 😅

24–25–26 September, Antwerp.

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. ;-)

Don’t worry, the main lineup is locked in and ready to roll! ⚡️

But with 45 keynotes over 3 nights, live events get wild. If we ever need a last-minute substitute on stage, who among our attendees is ready?

This year it is BACK, better than ever! Besides bringing your own collages, posters, photographs or drawing, this year you can get your art printed... BIG!
