IxDF Catania - AI DISCOVERY

Location: Catania, Sicily, Italy

About the Meetup

L'Intelligenza Artificiale non è più solo una tecnologia del futuro, ma uno strumento che sta ridefinendo il nostro lavoro quotidiano. Come si integra nei nostri processi creativi e di ricerca in modo davvero efficace?

Per il nostro primo appuntamento come IxDF Catania, abbiamo deciso di concentrarci sulla primissima fase di ogni progetto di successo: la Discovery e la User Research. Esploreremo insieme come l'AI stia cambiando radicalmente il modo in cui raccogliamo insight, analizziamo dati e validiamo le nostre ipotesi.

Che tu sia un Designer, un Product Manager, un professionista junior o uno studente desideroso di affacciarsi su questo mondo, questo meetup è lo spazio ideale per confrontarsi, fare rete e aggiornarsi sulle ultime metodologie di lavoro.

📍 L'Agenda della Serata

Benvenuto & Intro IxDF: Chi siamo, la nostra visione per la community di Catania e come valorizzare il network locale.
Brainstorming attivo: Un momento di discussione aperta per mappare insieme le sfide che riscontriamo nell'integrazione quotidiana dell'AI e raccogliere idee sui temi caldi da trattare nei prossimi incontri.
Casi Studio Reali: Processo e Strumenti:
Capiremo come convertire i dubbi di progetto in ipotesi di ricerca, trasformandoli in survey mirate generate con l'AI.

Vedremo come centralizzare ed elaborare rapidamente il panel di interviste qualitative condotte con professionisti del settore (clinici della riabilitazione) insieme ai dati di ricerca quantitativa.

Mostreremo come estrarre metriche immediate attraverso prompt intelligenti e strumenti d'avanguardia come Notebook.
Dal disordine analogico al recupero di un'ora al giorno di burocrazia. Guidando l'intero ciclo di prototipazione e design
Q&A e Co-progettazione della Community: Decideremo insieme le prossime tappe della community (votando la frequenza ideale dei nostri incontri) e lanceremo ufficialmente il nostro canale Telegram per rimanere sempre connessi.
Networking libero per conoscersi, scambiare contatti e fare community.

Why Join

Meet people who love design as much as you do. Together we learn new skills, grow our networks, and discover new job opportunities.

Questions? We've Got Answers

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. 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.

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.
