Mixers

Want to take the spirit of Hatch Conference to your city? Apply to organize a side event with your company or community on September 4th!

What is a Mixer?

Mixers are satellite events for UX and Product Designers, taking place simultaneously in different cities across Europe on September 4th. These events can be design meetups, panels, or casual gatherings for drinks and networking. They are self-organized by communities or companies around the EU/UK, with support from the Hatch Conference. Our goal is to bring European designers together across the continent, strengthening the Product Design scene in Europe.

Who can organize a Mixer?

We look for two types of partners based in any EU cities. In case of wanting to organize a mixer in Berlin, it must be done in partnership with one of the current sponsors of Hatch.

Design-Driven Companies & Agencies

We want to partner with companies that believe in design as a key factor for excellent products.
If your company belongs here, it’s an excellent opportunity to be a part of a large European event and position your organization within the design scene.

UX & Design Communities

If you run a community, and have run events before, we offer you both general support and a small budget for food and drinks so you can make an event in your city!
The perfect chance to align your community with a Pan-European event and offer your followers some great perks!

What happens in a Mixer?

Mixers are after-office events similar to meetups. You can organize a talk or a panel, or simply enjoy drinks and networking. We recommend keeping it lightweight, as attendees come after work and might not be ready for a series of talks.

We are happy to provide suggestions and tips. You can feature your own speaker, find one, or ask us for recommendations. The only requirement is that speakers align with the conference theme and address advanced design topics without promoting any specific software or service.
