    Hi Chaitanya Karwa,

    Apologies for any inconvenience caused, and thank you for reaching out.

    Regarding the upcoming meetup, the venue details are shared only with approved RSVPs on Luma Platform (unofficial event management system for IxDF Pune)—typically limited to the first 20 to 30 participants on a first-come, first-served basis. This is done to ensure proper seating arrangements and a smooth experience for all attendees.

    Those who RSVP beyond the initial cutoff are placed on a waiting list, and if there are any last-minute cancellations or no-shows, the organizer may consider approving additional requests based on availability.

    I also noticed you’ve recently joined our WhatsApp group, which is great! We regularly share upcoming events there, and being among the first to RSVP can help you secure a confirmed spot without having to wait.

    For any urgent queries or assistance, you’re always welcome to contact the listed organizer directly, and if needed, your local leader can also support you if the host is unavailable.

    Thank you for your understanding and continued support of our community!

    Thanks for reaching out!

    This IxDF Pune Coffee Meetup initative is a casual networking session aimed at connecting UX, UI, and tech enthusiasts.

    The agenda includes introductions, casual conversations over coffee, connecting with like-minded people, making new UX friends, and discussing a trending design topic.

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.
