Call for Proposals for PUSH UX 2026
Become part of the PUSH UX program, on stage or in one of our interactive sessions.
Keynote Talks
For speakers with authority and experience who bring key content that's relevant to the majority of the audience.
Keynote talks form the single track stage program in the morning and afternoon each day, lasting 25 or 45 minutes.
Lightning Talks
For specialised topics that address a specific audience. With blocks focussing on leadership, case studies, or young talents, this suits speakers of all experience levels.
Lightning Talks are 15 minutes each and form part of the multi-track breakout time.
Breakout Sessions
For direct and interactive exchange with the audience in focussed groups.
Go beyond talks with a hands-on session, teaching a new skill, framework, process, or facilitating a roundtable discussion.
Our program spotlights a cross-section of topics that are relevant for product and UX professionals.
We typically pick a relevant mix of sessions ranging from vision and discovery, research and validation, product thinking, UI and interaction design, leadership and people management, to technology.
Things we're particularly interested in this year:
AI workflows
Specific, real use cases for AI across the entire product and design process.
AI as material
What features and experiences are possible with AI? How do we create with AI? How does the process change?
Leadership and careers
How are roles and teams evolving? What does it mean for ICs and leaders alike?
Case studies
First hand experience and learnings which peers can benefit from.
Research and discovery
Uncovering user needs and translating them into insights and requirements.
Impact of Design
How does UX drive inclusion, sustainability, or business value?
