Speaker Guidelines

To select the program for Succeeding in Design 2023, we looked for engaging presentations that showcase how you have thrived and shaped the work that has been delivered in your organisation. We want to know the role design has played in the delivery of a service or product, in relation to:

  • Working with stakeholders

  • Design leadership within the team

  • Design’s impact on the shaping and delivery of products and services 

  • Working with multi-disciplinary teams

We are interested in your lived experiences, delivering your examples on what’s worked, what’s failed and how the audience can learn from your insights. 

We’re accepting submissions from a diverse range of designers who identify as women or non-binary working in design.

If you’re selected, you will receive two 1:1 coaching sessions with Mags Hanley to help create the structure of your presentation and then practice your presentation.

Guidelines - 

  • Your submission must be timed for 25 minutes, allowing an additional 5 minutes for Q&A. 
  • All submissions must be intended for in-person delivery. 
  • Speakers do not receive a speaking fee.
  • Speakers will receive a complimentary ticket to attend their elected city. 
  • Speakers are limited to 3 per city. 
  • If you’re successful, you must be available for frequent correspondence between March and May. 

Calls for proposals closed March 17.
