Hi IxDF Chicago, let’s meet up and network over coffee! Share UX design insights and resources, discuss UX problems you are facing now, or just chat about anything else. It’s going to be an informal, cozy meetup with fellow designers! I also wanted to make this meetup focused on humanitarian issues we are facing globally today and brainstorm technical solutions.
List of topics I wanted to chat about:
Humanitarian Hackathons
Humanity-centered design to solve the world’s most pressing issues.
Organizations or design groups to join to design for positive change.
Areas you like to design for (ex. combating human trafficking, biotech, wildlife, medical, environmental, refugee crisis, etc.) and how do we tackle these issues as UX professionals?
If we enjoy this discussion, I thought about making it into a recurring event, once in three months or so, creating a group to focus on this topic, eventually, we can pick a place we’d like to meet at, it could be my place or a bar we like. Let’s talk about all of this on Saturday!

Hi wanted to confirm is it 10/30 or 11/12 for the meet up? and are we meeting klara’s place or is it at a coffee shop at Gold Coast. Thanks for initiating!
Hi there! Is the meeting location a home, business? I’m attending a remote class until 11, and am trying to figure out if I can remote-in to class from the meeting space.

Questions? We've Got Answers
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.
Remember: Your network is your net worth.
