We are pleased to announce that we are accepting submissions for the MIX 2025 conference, Writing with Technologies, starting on Wednesday the 2nd of July 2025 at Bath Spa University’s Locksbrook Campus.

Now in its eighth year, Bath Spa University’s MIX has established itself as an innovative forum for the discussion and exploration of writing and technology, bringing together researchers, writers, technologists and practitioners from around the world to make, think and talk.

As part of our programme, New York Times bestselling writer and publisher Michael Bhasker, currently working for Microsoft AI and co-author of the book The Coming Wave: AI, Power and the 21st Century’s Greatest Dilemma, will appear in conversation.

Themes for this year’s discussions include:

• Issues of trust and truth in digital writing
• The use of generative AI tools by authors, poets and screenwriters
• Debates around AI and ethics for creative practitioners
• Emerging immersive storytelling practices

Interested in joining us?

We are looking for proposals for either 15 minute papers or presentations or 5 minute lightening talks from technologists, artists, writers and poets working in the digital realm as well as academic researchers and independent scholars. We are particularly interested in the work and views of creators, audiences and communities currently underrepresented across writing and technology.

This will be a boutique version of MIX, with ticket numbers limited to 70.

£45 full price / £25 students/concessions.

Deadline for submissions of proposals: 5pm Monday 10 February 2025

Notification of acceptance: Friday 28 February 2025 Email inquirires: mix@bathspa.ac.uk
