A non-profit conference runs on institutions that lend a room, companies that write a cheque, and organisations that show up year after year for nothing in return. This is the ledger of everyone on record.

The standing partnerLahore University of Management Sciences
Every other name on this page joined for an edition or two. LUMS has been there for all of them. The conference was conceived in a LUMS research lab, founded by LUMS faculty, organised by a LUMS student society, and hosted on the LUMS campus — including the 2025 edition, eight years after the first.
It is not a sponsor. It is where UX Pakistan comes from.
The research lab where the outreach that became UX Pakistan started, directed by Dr. Suleman Shahid.
The student society founded at LUMS in January 2017 that organised the first five editions.
Dept. of Computer Science, SSE

The standing partner, industry sideIf LUMS is where the conference comes from, Designist is what kept it running. The experience design agency has supported UX Pakistan every year for ten years — financially, academically and in every other way an agency can back a non-profit it does not own.
Financially
A backer of the conference every year, through the editions that sold out and the ones that nearly did not happen.
Academically
Workshops, talks and mentoring from its team across the decade — Hasan Habib has been on the programme in five editions.
In practice
Organising muscle, speakers, and the industry credibility that let a student-run conference call itself national.
