Curious how designers, researchers, and PMs are actually using AI in their daily work?
Join the IxDF Dulles community for a relaxed virtual meetup where we’ll swap real experiences, unexpected discoveries, and a few “AI definitely misunderstood the assignment” moments.
This isn’t a presentation. It’s a conversation with peers across the product design lifecycle who are experimenting with AI and figuring out what’s actually useful.
⚡ Our last meetups sparked great conversations and new connections — grab your spot and join us!
💡 What you’ll walk away with:
Real examples of how people are using AI in UX, research, and product work
New workflow ideas you can try immediately
Fresh perspectives on where AI helps (and where it doesn’t)
Connections with local professionals navigating the same changes
🤝 Perfect for:
UX designers, UX researchers, product managers, anyone working in digital product teams, anyone transitioning into UX or anyone interested in this topic!
Whether you’re experimenting with AI daily or just starting to explore it, you’ll fit right in.
🎤 What we’ll do:
Quick introductions and a short hello from me as the new IxDF Dulles Local Leader
Community discussion: “AI in my workflow”
Share wins, fails, surprising uses, and lessons learned
Open conversation about where AI may impact our work next
No slides. No experts. Just smart people learning together.

An IxDF Local Group connects you with people in your city who are building and applying design skills in their work. Together, you'll strengthen your craft, expand your network, and put theory into practice.
IxDF Local Groups meet regularly in person at cafés, company offices, or creative spaces to share ideas, give feedback, run workshops, and learn from each other. Many groups also organize IxDF Design Dinners, where the conversation goes deeper over a meal. These aren't just social events. Members find collaborators, clients, job leads, and future teammates through them.
You'll also have access to a private online forum where you can get career advice, honest feedback, and support from people who understand the work.
You don't need to have a "designer" title to join. If you care about how design shapes products, careers, and organizations, you belong here.
Join and you'll discover new skills, explore job opportunities, and build relationships with people who understand the power of great design.
Your IxDF Local Leader organizes meetups based on what members want most. Sessions range from hands-on and structured to relaxed and informal.
Some examples of what you'll find:
Presentations from local designers, followed by Q&A
Lightning talks where members share lessons learned from real projects
Workshops where you work through a real design challenge together
Portfolio reviews where you get honest, practical feedback
Coffee meetups and design dinners with open conversations about where the industry is heading
Any member can propose, organize and post a meetup. You don't have to wait for your Local Leader to take the initiative.
What stays consistent is the people. You'll find designers and professionals who ask good questions, share what they know, and show up for each other between meetups too.
Yes, absolutely!
Design skills make you more effective in any role. Product managers, developers, marketers, researchers, and founders all work better when they understand how to think like a designer.
IxDF Local Groups reflect that. Members come from all kinds of professional backgrounds, not just design. What they share is an interest in how design shapes products, decisions, and careers.
You'll fit right in regardless of your background.
In a world that's getting more artificial and competitive, IxDF brings the heart back, so you never have to face the job market alone.
Learn together, get mentored, find your next job, and build friendships that grow your career.
