Speak at AiX Conference 2027

We’re curating a speaker lineup that reflects how AI is actually changing design. If you’re building, experimenting, or challenging the way things are done, we want to hear from you.

Wednesday 27th April 2027

What We’re Looking for

We are less interested in theory — and more interested in practice.

Real systems you’ve built

Show us how AI is actually being used in live products, not just explored in theory.

Lessons from AI-enabled workflows

Share what’s worked, what hasn’t, and how your process has changed.

Design failures that changed your thinking

Talk us through mistakes that led to better decisions or new approaches.

New frameworks for modern designers

Introduce ways of thinking that help teams design in AI-driven environments.

Topics we’re interested in

What we think will be most important to our delegates...

AI In Practice

Real workflows, real tools, and real constraints.

Design Systems

Moving from static systems to adaptive AI-drive systems.

The Future Designer

Roles, sills, and identity for the next wave of designers.

AI In Practice

Real workflows, real tools, and real constraints.

Design Systems

Moving from static systems to adaptive AI-drive systems.

OR, MAYBE SOMETHING WE HAVEN’T EVEN CONSIDERED... LET US KNOW.
