Call for speakers · Edition —

Teach the room that decides what good design looks like.

We're programming the lecture series that runs alongside the show — design thinking, not technique classes. Approved educators are paid their guaranteed fee or 40% of every ticket sold, whichever is greater, and teach to an audience of makers, interior designers, decorators and curators.

What approved speakers get

A paid stage, a built audience, and none of the production work.

Guaranteed fee or 40%

Name your fee in the proposal. Once approved you're paid that fee or 40% of every ticket sold — whichever is greater — tracked live in your earnings portal.

A designer audience

Seats are sold to the same makers, interior designers, decorators and gallery curators following the show floor. You are not teaching into an empty room.

A promo kit, made for you

Ready-to-post graphics, copy and your own share links so every seat you drive is credited straight to your share.

We handle production

Zoom scheduled and hosted, registration, reminders, replay delivery and support tickets. You show up and teach.

Editorial billing

Your session gets a full programme page with your bio, headshot and credits — indexed, shareable, and linked from the show.

14-day replay revenue

Every seat includes a 14-day replay, so recorded views keep counting toward your ticket share.

From proposal to stage

Four steps.

  1. 01

    Create your speaker profile

    Name, bio, headshot and the credits you teach under.

  2. 02

    Submit a proposal

    Title, format, audience level, session outline and your fee.

  3. 03

    Review or revise

    We approve it, or send it back with notes so you can sharpen it.

  4. 04

    Teach and get paid

    We sell the seats, host the session, and pay out your share.

We're looking for
  • Colour, composition and design-thinking sessions over step-by-step technique.
  • Makers, designers, stylists and curators with a point of view.
  • Sessions that give an audience a way of seeing, not just a pattern.
  • First-time speakers with a strong idea — we coach the outline.
Common questions
Do I need an audience already?
No. We sell seats through the show. Your promo kit only adds to it.
Can I submit more than one?
Yes — submit as many proposals as you like before the deadline.
What if it's not ready?
Start a draft now and finish before November 1. Nothing is reviewed until you submit.

Proposals close November 1, 2026.
