We're gathering for an evening of honest conversations about design, AI, and career growth — with Amazon's design team and the IxDF Hyderabad design community: Real talks, an open AMA, and the advice you can't Google. Come for the ideas, stay for the people.
💡 You'll walk away with:
• At least one new connection, collab idea, or aha moment
• A candid look at how Amazon's designers actually work with AI — and what's really changing
• Advice no algorithm is feeding you
• New opportunities in Hyderabad you didn't even know were on the table
🎤 What we'll talk about:
• The role of the designer in the age of AI (and the tools that actually work)
• Career growth, pivots, and what we've learned along the way
• How to stand out — and what makes a portfolio get noticed
• Whatever's on your mind (seriously, anything goes — that's what the AMA is for)
👥 Who's invited? Everyone. Designers, non-designers, freelancers, in-house teams, career changers, students, IxDF members and non-members. If you care about design and want to grow, you're one of us.

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.

Your IxDF Local Leader organizes meetups based on what members want most. 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.
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.
