Join Qt Group for a panel packed with design expertise as we discuss what it means in 2026 to design user experiences for embedded devices. Our own Shawn Dorsey and Jason Manns will host Dennis Lenard, founder and managing director at Creative Navy, and Sven Heller, CEO at Create Next, to explore why designing for embedded applications is a specialized field—one that is often overlooked in designers’ forums.

In this session, we will discuss:

• Main challenges for designers of embedded applications, sharing practical examples
• The key differences between designing for an embedded device and designing for the web or mobile
• How the profession is evolving while GUIs keep improving on modern devices
• What the future holds for designers of embedded applications
• The role of AI and how it should be used to gain a real advantage

If you are a designer of embedded applications and want to connect with others in the field while learning from over 60 years of combined experience building HMIs and GUIs, this session provides that opportunity.

Learn from experts, share your thoughts, and ask your most pressing questions about designing UXs and UIs for embedded devices.

Speakers:

• Shawn Dorsey (Senior Manager of UI/UX at Qt)
• Jason Manns (Senior Technical Artist at Qt)
• Dennis Lenard (Founder and Managing Director at Creative Navy)
• Sven Heller (CEO at Create Next)
