Oops. Error re am / pm. 3rd time's a charm! Moving out a week to accommodate an additional member! Hi IxDF Minneapolis, anyone want to meet up and network over coffee! Specifically, talk about how you've made the transition to freelance, or what your approach is! I'm just beginning. It's going to be an informal, friendly meetup with fellow UX / design folks!
If you have a better suggestion for where to meet, I'm open to other options!
Hi all! Please use this discussion thread to discuss Coffee+freelance journey held on Feb 27, 2019. Feel free to ask questions about the place, date and time, agenda of the meeting, or anything else.
Hi David, thanks so much for connecting! There is someone else interested, but can't see where that is. Would next Thursday work for you? 7th? LMK and in the meantime, will try to locate the response from the other member! Cheers, Anne
Thanks Rothanak and Kitty for making it out yesterday. Great to meet you both and hear about your UX journey! Sorry you weren't able to make it David, but will keep you posted re any next meetups!
Hi all, Kitty and I will be meeting at Birchwood Cafe at 4 pm if you can make it. If not, will look forward to catching up at some future IxDF event! Cheers, Anne
Hi all, just back from a quick trip to Denver. Checking in that you're all still up for catching up at Birchwood cafe tomorrow? Again, let me know if you have a different preference re venue. My cell is 612-859-0258 if anything should change between now and then. O/wise, will look forward to meeting you and sharing experiences!

Hi Anne! Sorry I hadn't realized that I wasn't listed as attending, but I should be now. I have a conference at the McNamara Alumni Center that runs until 4pm, so I may be a little late in my arrival. Looking forward to seeing everyone who's available!
Hey there Kitty. I'm still keen to meet up, whether we get any more takers or not ... just starting out in freelance and would love to hear about your experiences. Let me know if you have any preferences re where to meet. Otherwise, I was thinking Birchwood in Longfellow?

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.
