Call for contributions: User Research 2024 - London | Scotland

MRS is launching two new User Research events this autumn designed for UX, user and market researchers who support product, design and digital teams.

A one-day conference will be held on the 17^th October in London and we’re also running a User Research MRS Scotland meet-up in November. Both events will examine the latest trends, methodologies, case studies and best practices. They’ll also be a long-awaited opportunity for user researchers to meet up with their peers to network and brainstorm.

If you have valuable insights, innovative methodologies, or compelling case studies to share, then we invite you to submit your proposals for either or both User Research events. We are seeking submissions that cover a wide range of topics, including but not limited to:

• Qualitative and quantitative research methodologies for UX design
• User-centred design methodologies
• UX in agile design environments
• UX & MR: synergies and collaboration
• AI in user research
• Accessibility and inclusive design
• Capturing user stories in digital discovery
• User research for emerging products and technologies
• User research privacy and ethics
• Cross-cultural UX research
• User persona development
• Design thinking in UX research
• Data-driven design and analytics
• Building and scaling an in-house UX research practice
• Working collaboratively with product and design stakeholders
• Any other relevant topics shaping the future of User research

If you’d like to contribute to our 2024 events please send in a submission. Please indicate whether you’d like to be considered for the London and/or Glasgow event.

• CASE STUDY (30mins) - Share your user research journey from research brief through to project outputs. Tell us something remarkable about your project which makes it stand out.
• NO SLIDES PANEL SESSIONS (30mins) - Convene and lead a panel session discussing an emerging methodology or a challenging area of user research.
• IN CONVERSATION WITH… (30mins) - Lead a one-to-one interview style session which brings together an agency and client to discuss a new user research project or a new approach that is being implemented. 

A quick note on our selection criteria:

With just 10 sessions available we give priority to client-side presenters / co-presenters, new hot-off-the-press research and projects using pioneering research techniques.

MRS is committed to equal gender representation on the conference platform. MRS is also committed to achieving a target of a minimum of 15% of speakers to come from ethnically diverse backgrounds.

If you have a recent research project that you’d like to showcase or a conference session idea please submit a brief synopsis (approx. 200 words) for consideration by Wednesday 26 June to conference@mrs.org.uk.
