Hi IxDF Portland (Maine), sorry this is very last minute but Lucy and I were going to meet this week over coffee. It would be great to get to know anyone in the group! 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 meetup with fellow designers!

    Yes! Lucy and I connected on LinkedIn which got this one started and we are both in York. Next one in Portland, for sure. Probably some great spots to meet up. Any dates in mind?

    I’d love to join you on 10/11 but I already have meetings I can’t miss or reschedule. I work for Wolters Kluwer on health products incl UpToDate so I’d love to meet and chat with you all sometime. Oh, I’m based in Brunswick, full time remote worker.

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.

What goes on in an IxDF Local Group?

Your IxDF Local Group is led by an IxDF Local Leader and serves as a vibrant hub where you can network, learn and grow.

Here's what you can expect:

  • A community of professionals from all walks of life, who share a passion for great design and how it can benefit their career, their company, and society in general.
