Call for Presentations Form

Below is the form for submitting a proposal for STRAT EUROPE, which will take place in Amsterdam on June 23 - 25, 2024. The focus of STRAT is a combination of business strategy and experience design. Our key curation tenets are rigor, depth, and transparency. The deadline for proposal submission is April 15, 2024.

Most proposals that are accepted into the program are strategic design case studies, in-depth frameworks, or hands-on workshops.

The audience will consist primarily of very experienced product design leaders, strategists, researchers, and designers, so your presentation or workshop proposal should be targeted to this audience. Presentations and workshops on the basics of user experience design and usability will be rejected without being evaluated by the conference review panel. There will be zero tolerance for promotions or advertisements cloaked as presentations.

Presentations can be 15, 30, 45 or 60 minutes. Workshops will be half-day long. They should be practical "How To" sessions with substantial participation exercises. Presentations have only one presenter, workshops can have two presenters.
