Hey, UXers and Designers in Thessaloniki and Greece!
Mark your calendars for Tuesday, May 6th, 2025, and join us for the next Thessaloniki UX Meetup!
This time, we’re hosting a thought-provoking open discussion titled:
UX vs Business: Who Doesn’t Understand Whom?
In this session, we’ll dive into the dynamic between UX and Business by exploring questions such as:
How do business stakeholders view the UX process?
Why do we often feel that “they don’t understand our work”?
Are we perhaps not speaking the language of business?
Do we effectively translate our UX outcomes into understandable metrics?
We’ll share stories, exchange use cases, discuss challenges, and brainstorm creative ways to translate UX values and results into business-friendly language.
Here’s the plan:
6:00 PM – 6:30 PM: UX Career Coffee
Grab a coffee and join us for a relaxed chat about UX career opportunities. Whether you seek advice, collaborators, or job leads, this is the perfect space to connect.
6:30 PM – 8:30 PM: Open Discussion Session
Engage in a dynamic, two-hour dialogue where we exchange experiences, brainstorm solutions, and work together to bridge the gap between UX and business.

Hi Ioannis!
It would be great if both this and all IxDF Thessaloniki meetups could be remotely monitored, so that we Southern Greeks could also follow them.
Is this possible?
Best,
Panos
Hey Panos,
Thanks for raising this point!
We’re constantly reconsidering our current approach of not offering remote participation at in-person meetups, aiming to keep physical engagement high. On the other hand, we’re aware we might be missing out on connecting with friends outside Thessaloniki, like you.
We’ll keep exploring this balance. Thanks again for your feedback!
Please log in or join us to post comments in the conversations.
