Call for Proposals at PUSH UX 2026

Breakout Session Proposals

About the format

Design is a practice, so we go beyond talking about it at PUSH UX.

Breakout sessions offer a way to engage with topics hands-on, and in a more personal group setting.

Your format can be a roundtable discussion, knowledge sharing, tool or process training, a mini-meetup, co-creation or similar.

Breakout Sessions at PUSH UX are run by one or two hosts.

Each breakout lasts 60 minutes, and happens once on per day (=2x total).

Depending on the topic, chosen format, and sign-ups a session typically include 20-40 participants.

As a session host you will of course receive a free ticket for both conference days. We're also able to cover the cost of workshop materials to make sure you and your participants can enjoy a professional creative activity.
