Thank you to everyone who joined our kickoff event! It was fantastic to meet each other and share our passion for UX. It was also great to talk with other designers about UX—we should do it more often! 🙂
We’ve begun to identify some topics for our upcoming workshops and will be reaching out to local experts in Barcelona to speak on:
Accessibility and designing for disabilities
The future of AI in design
What product design will look like in five years
Mobility startups and smart cities
Service design
UX research
Gamification
Case studies
We also came up with some exciting ideas for activities within the community:
Workgroups to build Use Cases for portfolios and help each other get unstuck
Internal workshops for hands-on experience with UX tools and methodologies
UX Café: informal meetups to chat about UX or non-UX topics
Accountability partners to support each other in reaching our goals
And don’t forget the Hackathon! This will be our big, final event for the 2024/2025 season.
Finally, we agreed to use Discord for ongoing discussions and workgroups. Here’s the link: https://discord.gg/2vKpgBmb. We’ll be organizing the layout and setting up rules soon.
Thanks again for your participation—looking forward to seeing you again! Talk to you soon on Discord!
Hello all!
Finally I will not be able to attend today.
Enjoy the event!
Hello everyone! Just checking if the Meetup is still on for tomorrow :)
Thank you!
Bon dia! Are your meetups software-engineer friendly? :D I’m a front-end dev and I would like to get another perspective on what I am building ;)

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.
