Thinking about applying to speak at UXRConf 23? You should. We encourage everyone, especially first-time speakers and early career researchers, to put forward their best ideas.
Quick Facts
Here are some things you should know before applying to speak at UXRConf:
- We will only be accepting submissions from individual speaker applicants this year, not co-speakers.
- Back by popular demand, our team will be hosting three workshops this February to guide you through choosing your talk topic before applying.
- All speakers will receive a $1,000 USD honorarium for participating in UXRConf.
- While UXRConf will be a fully remote experience this year, our team will be hosting in-person taping days on April 16 - 19 in Toronto, Canada which all speakers are required to attend. Travel to and from the speakers' home cities to Toronto, as well as three nights hotel accommodation will be provided.
