    UX Australia 2012 is a 4-day user experience design conference, with two days of workshops and two days of presentations about designing great experiences for people.

    Hands-on workshops focus on practical skills to help you get started, learn new techniques and explore ideas in detail. Conference presentations inspire, provide practical skills, show something new and demonstrate how people in different fields tackle similar problems.

    The conference covers core user experience design topics – strategy, user-centred design, interaction design, mobile design, cross-channel design, service design and content. It’s not just digital though, and will also include presentations on the design of physical objects and environments.

    How to speak at UX Australia 2012

    The UX Australia program is based on community submissions. The call for proposals is open now and closes 16 March 2012. When proposals are in we ask the community to review them, and then select those that will be included in the program.

    If the last three years are an indication, we’ll receive about 4 times as many proposals as we can select. The proposals submitted last are the least likely to be accepted (as they are usually rushed). If you’re interested in speaking or teaching a workshop, start thinking now, and get your proposal in early.

    Where and when

    UX Australia 2012 will be held 28-31 August, at Sofitel Brisbane Central, in Brisbane.

    • 28-29 August: Hands-on workshops
    • 30-31 August: Main conference presentations

    Other planning

    UX Australia 2011 had 300 conference tickets and sold out months ahead of time. We’ve selected a larger venue for UX Australia 2012 and will have more tickets, but if you know it takes forever to get approvals, start thinking about it soon.

    Of course, we don’t know exactly what will be on the program, but expect the same type of coverage as this year – a mix of strategic and practical talks, on a range of user experience design topics.
