Hola comunidad en Medellín, espero que se encuentren bien¡
Mi nombre es Marcela Gómez, actual Country Manager para IxDF Colombia y quería hacerles saber que estamos abriendo convocatoria, en la búsqueda de un Líder Local para la ciudad de Medellín.
Ser un líder local puede ser una experiencia gratificante y será recompensado con los beneficios de:
- Networking: conocer otros diseñadores o profesionales del área y expandir tus conexiones profesionales.
- Aprender: compartir tus experiencias e ideas con otros, y aprender de tus colegas.
- Desarrollo personal: te ayudará a destacarte como líder en el mundo del diseño, ya que serás parte importante para el crecimiento de la comunidad de UX y afines en Colombia.
¿Cuánto tiempo y esfuerzo se necesita para ser un líder local?
Ser líder local puede tomar de 1-2 horas efectivas por semana, eso es alrededor de 15 minutos de su tiempo todos los días, algo que puedes incorporar fácilmente en tu día a día, siempre y cuando te organices y estés motivado, esta es una gran oportunidad.
¿Qué necesitas para participar de esta convocatoria?
- Una conversación conmigo y una con otro de los líderes para alienar expectativas e identificar match con el equipo actual.
- Cómo te mencionaba algo de tiempo a la semana y motivación en pro aportar a la comunidad.
- Sí o sí, residir en la ciudad de Medellín o alrededores, ya que debes tener la disponibilidad y disposición para hacer eventos presenciales.
Si eres la persona elegida entre las personas que se postulen estás serán tus responsabilidades:
- Promover los eventos en tu ciudad, ya sean remotos o presenciales.
- Lo anterior implica las labores logísticas que eso genera en colaboración con los demás líderes del país.
- Administrar el grupo de IxDF Medellín en la plataforma.
- Participar en las demás actividades e iniciativas que el equipo de líderes tenga o proponga.
Ten en cuenta que es un rol de voluntariado, por lo que todas nuestras actividades son sin ánimo de lucro, no recibimos ni pedimos ningún intercambio económico por hacerlo. La permanencia en el rol dependerá de tu proactividad, responsabilidad y cumplimiento.
Si estás interesado o interesada, súmate a este meetup donde les contaré más al respecto y despejaremos dudas.
Un saludo :)

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

What goes on in an IxDF Local Group?
What goes on in an IxDF Local Group?
Your IxDF Local Leader organizes meetups based on what members want most. As an IxDF member, you can also plan and create your own meetups. 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.
I'm not even a designer. Should I still join an IxDF Local Group?

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.
