We’re Looking for You

Would you like to speak at DWX 2026? Submit your presentation on time during the conference’s call for speakers.

Whether it’s a 60-minute session, an intensive full-day workshop, or a half-day workshop - show us why you’re the right speaker for our event by submitting an abstract of 500 to 1800 characters, together with a short title.


Never spoken at a conference before?

No problem! We especially encourage young talents of all genders and backgrounds to submit their proposals. Our Advisory Board reviews all submissions for suitability for DWX and also considers new talents accordingly.


Benefits for Speakers

Being a speaker and sharing your knowledge with an audience is both a challenge and an honor. Teaching others ultimately enhances your own understanding of the subject (teaching to learn). We want you to be part of our conferences, and here are just a few benefits you’ll enjoy:

  • Your own presentation platform: Showcase your lectures to a large audience, share your expertise, and enhance your professional profile.
  • Free conference access & catering: As a speaker, you’ll receive free access to the entire conference, including all meals and refreshments during the event. You’ll also receive your conference badge upon arrival.
  • Networking: Take advantage of numerous networking opportunities, exchange ideas with other speakers, participants, and exhibitors, and create new contacts and business opportunities.


Important Information:

By submitting your presentation, you agree to the speaker participation terms (see below).
