    A few things to keep in mind - this is going to be a very casual, grab a coffee, meet people and chat type of a gathering. We are meeting at Tatte in Charlestown, so the seating is on first come first serve basis (I can’t reserve it ahead of time), but they have a great little coffee bar area, so depending on the number of people that show up, we may hang out there.
    Please confirm that you’re coming in the chat if you can/see this message!
    I look forward to meeting everyone! :)

What is an IxDF Local Group and why should I join one?

An IxDF Local Group is a meeting point for people with a passion for design in your city.

You don't need to be a designer, just passionate about great design and how it can improve your work and career.

Meetups are the heartbeat of IxDF Local Groups, whether we meet at a café, a creative space or a local company. There's nothing quite like the magic of meeting face-to-face to share ideas and inspiration.

We also host regular IxDF Design Dinners, where we enjoy great food and help each other learn and grow. Even a simple coffee meetup in a café can ignite collaborations and friendships that last a lifetime.

You'll also have a private and exclusive online forum where you can openly get help and career advice.

Simply put, we learn together and smile together.

You'll expand your career network, discover new skills, explore job opportunities, meet potential clients, or even find your next dedicated team member when you join an xDF Local Group.
