Call for Proposals:
IxDA is calling for proposals from cities interested in hosting Interaction 24. Interaction 24 will be held the first week of March 2024.
Since 2008, the Interaction conference has grown to be a significant and must-attend event for design professionals interested in the practice and discipline of interaction design and related fields.
Building on Interaction 21 and Interaction 22, as well as the planned hybrid format for Interaction 23, our intent is to develop a hybrid|distributed Interaction experience accessible to anyone in our global community who wants to participate.
A successful proposal for Interaction 24 will:
- Be led by an active IxDA Local Group
- Have a local design school partner with a strong interaction design program
- Feature a strong and vibrant design community, and unique contributions to the field of interaction design
- Name a volunteer conference chair and core committee, submitted with biographies
- Propose a hybrid or distributed format that extends access to Interaction for IxDA’s global community
- Present a strong vision for interaction design to drive the conference curation
- Demonstrate an engaging conference experience for ~1500 attendees, including recommended venues and conference hotels.
- Include support from the international meeting section of the relevant tourist authority (local or national)
- Include a potential list of financial partners to support the event.
