    Hello, everyone,

    it was great to meet you all last night. I hope you had fun and found the meetup useful in some way.

    In the true spirit of UX practice you can share your ideas and thoughts on how to make meetups more utilitarian for you and your particular areas of interest.

    Have a great Xmas and New Year, everyone!


    Best wishes

    Hi,

    I am new to this group. Just wondering, would I be able to attend if I am a little late on that day? My work will finish at 6pm and by the time I reach Barrio Soho it will be around 7pm.

    Excited to meet you all.

    Thanks

    Hi All,

    I am fairly new to the UX role, I joined my team March this year. My background isn't UX, however I have settled and adapted to the role quite quick. I love my new role, I have completed one of the IxDF courses, I wanted to know if in the meet ups any workshops take place to encourage innovation, and creativeness?

    Thank you,

    Sonal

    Hi, Sonal,

    this particular IxDF meet up is an open space for conversations, whereby we share knowledge and engage in discussions about design, UX and other adjacent disciplines. The format is very organic in fact but the opportunity to connect with other people with different backgrounds and experience levels can be invaluable.

    I hope to see you there!

What is an IxDF Local Group and why should I join one?

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.

Remember: Your network is your net worth.

Your IxDF Local Group is led by an IxDF Local Leader and serves as a vibrant hub where you can network, learn and grow.
