Call for speakers
Your talk, our stage
Send us a talk about the space between design and code. Travel, hotel and a fee for every speaker.
What we look for
Good talks are specific
01
Practical beats visionary
Something people can try on Monday. Show your work, your mistakes and your numbers.
02
First-timers welcome
A past speaker mentors you from proposal to stage, and every speaker rehearses with a coach.
03
We pay speakers
Travel, two hotel nights, a €500 fee and a ticket for a friend.
Send a proposal
Tell us about your talk
Three short steps. We read every proposal anonymously and reply to everyone within four weeks of the deadline.
Deadline: 31 January 2027
Thank you. We've got it.
You'll get a confirmation by email in a few minutes. The committee reads proposals in February and we reply to everyone by the end of the month.
Questions
Speaking, answered
Designers who code, developers who care about design, and everyone in between: design engineers, front-end developers, product designers, design system teams and the people who lead them.
Yes. Every talk on both stages is recorded and captioned. In-person and online ticket holders get the recordings the week after the conference; everyone else a month later.
Tickets are refundable until 1 May 2027, less a €25 fee. After that you can transfer your ticket to a colleague for free until the day before the conference.
Teams of five or more save 15% automatically. We also keep 60 free diversity tickets and discounted tickets for students and people between jobs: write to tickets@plenar.events.
Armazém Nove is step-free throughout, with accessible toilets on every floor, a quiet room, a prayer room and a family room. Every talk is live-captioned. Tell us what you need when you book and we'll make it work.
Both days of talks, breakfast, lunch, coffee all day, the drinks on the river terrace and the recordings. Workshops on 16 June are booked separately.
Yes, and we enforce it. Read it on the code of conduct page. Our safety team wears lime lanyards and can be reached at any time during the event.
