Late June
Call for mixers open
Host a satellite event on the opening night of Hatch Conference and join a series of meetups with over 500 designers gathering at the same time across Europe. One night, many cities, one community.
What is a Hatch Mixer?
Hatch Mixers are design meetups self-organized by communities and companies across Europe during the first day of Hatch Conference.
On September 16th, designers across Europe and the UK gather in their own cities for one evening of a talk or panel, drinks, and real conversation. You pick the topic and run the room. We bring the audience, the platform, and the support so your meetup becomes part of an international night.

Requirements
What you need to host
Four things make a mixer work. If you have these, you are ready to apply.
A Venue for 50-100 participants
You are required to have or rent a physical space for the event. Depending on your program, you may also need a projector, microphones and other technical setup.
A following or a community
Either you've got some designers in your network or you can choose to co-partner with an established community. Of course, Hatch will help you promote even further.
An organising team or team member
One or two people to coordinate with us, plus volunteers for check-in, MC, receive deliveries, etc.
They will be in touch with our team to help make the event a success.
A photographer
You don't need a professional photographer, but you are required to share photos of the Mixer the day after, so we can include them in our opening Keynote at Hatch Conference.
