We're looking for practitioners with real stories, insights, and experiences to share. Whether you're an engineer, product manager, designer, data scientist, researcher, delivery lead, or startup founder—if you're doing the work and have something valuable to share, we want to hear from you.

• Delivery & Ways of Working

Specific topics could include:

• How jobs, roles and teams are changing — and what that means for you
• The human skills that matter more, not less, in an AI world
• What development looks like when AI is in the loop
• What good engineering looks like in an era of rapid change
• AI strategy: what leaders actually need to decide
• Building products when tools, timelines and expectations keep shifting
• How do you design for people when everything keeps changing
• Security, trust and risk in a world of autonomous systems

• Real stories of navigating transformation — what worked, what didn't
• Startup stories: how we imagined, built and scaled through uncertainty

This isn't exhaustive. If you're working on something interesting in digital product and service creation, we want to hear about it.

Session Types and Formats

We have several session formats you can choose from:

• Spotlight – 40 minutes – Shaping or ending the day with inspiring ideas
• Talk – 25 minutes – Ideal for sharing stories, tips, and tricks people can take back to their work

We're not only looking for talks and presentations—you could also run a workshop, facilitate a discussion, or play a game.
