Let's celebrate Heritage Day by getting outdoors, meeting fellow professionals, and enjoying one of Cape Town's best sunset viewpoints together.
Instead of another evening indoors, join us for a relaxed hike up Kloof Corner, followed by a picnic, networking, and great conversations while overlooking our incredible city.
📅 Event Details
Date: Wednesday, 24 September (Heritage Day)
Meet: 16:30
Start Hiking: 16:45
Location: Kloof Corner Trail (Tafelberg Road)
Group Size: Limited to 15 attendees (registration required)
This isn't a formal networking event or workshop—it's simply an opportunity to slow down, connect with like-minded people, enjoy nature, and have conversations that inspire new ideas and perspectives.
Whether you're looking to expand your network, get feedback on a challenge you're working through, or simply enjoy good company, we'd love to have you join us.
Who should attend?
Our discussions will naturally be most relevant to people working in and around digital product development, including:
UX & UI Designers
Product Designers
Design System Architects
Developers
Product Managers
Product Owners
Business Analysts
Friends and colleagues are absolutely welcome too—whether they're IxDF members or not. The only requirement is that everyone registers so we know who's joining us.
What to bring
💧 Plenty of water
🥪 Your own snacks or picnic treats to enjoy at the top
👟 Comfortable walking shoes
🧥 Comfortable clothing (it can cool down once the sun starts setting)
😊 Your curiosity and willingness to meet new people!
If there's a project you're currently working on, a challenge you'd like advice on, or an idea you'd like to bounce around with others, bring it along. Some of the best conversations happen outside the office.
Looking forward to spending Heritage Day with the IxDF Cape Town community—and hopefully making this the first of many community hikes! 🌅

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.
