Hosting a session
We know that hosting a session can seem daunting if you haven’t done it before, but it can be a great opportunity to polish your skills and boost your confidence.

Our audience is always friendly and supportive, so think of it as a safe space to try something out, share your knowledge or practice presenting to a crowd.
You can pick any topic related to the field of UX, or even something else that interests you. There are no rules, as long as your session is no more than 20 minutes long.
You can give a talk, run a workshop, crowdsource ideas, encourage a debate, give a demo of a tool, or something else entirely. It’s up to you.
You can pick from 4 rooms of different sizes and grab the time slot that best suits you when you arrive in the morning (it's worth arriving a little early to get first pick).
If you’d like a little guidance on choosing a topic or help with planning your session, we can provide an experienced mentor for some free coaching before the event.
Our previous attendees have gone on to do great things after cutting their teeth at UX Camp Brighton.
UX Camp Brighton attendee Sophie Mitchell wrote about how speaking at UX Camp Brighton boosted her confidence, helping her to found the London chapter of Ladies that UX. Read about her experience as a session host.
You might also find some useful advice from previous UXCB speakers in this post. Whether you’re just starting out or well-versed in public speaking, our friendly audience will be supportive and interested to hear what you have to say.
