    Hi all,

    I will try to come, probably with my children (it's near dinner-time, they are 1 and 3 years), but honestly it's too late for us.

    About the topics: I would like to speak about job opportunities here in Zurich, what is your experiences, and how we can convert our background in a job. How we can use UX design in Art installation?

    Hi all, looking forward to meeting you later.

    With regard to topics, I'm interested in hearing about how you shortlist and prioritise digital features in your UX projects, as well as your thoughts on whether UX should be the main investment focus when designing a digital solution, versus other parts of the process.

    Best,

    Alanna

    Dear Francesca

    At least I will be there ;) But I hope the others can make it too of course.

    Btw Mads wants to feature IDF Zurich in the Local Group newsletter for October.

    So there are some questions to answer you might help me with:

    • What are some of the most memorable meetups and workshops the Group has hosted? (2-3 examples across online/small-scale and large meetups would be great)
    • How has IDF Zurich made a difference to the city's UX Community in your words?
    • What is your vision and goal for IDF Zurich?

    And: "Could you also please share some images from recent meetups, including images of the Group's members all together, if available?"

    Hi Philipp,
    1) for the moment the most memorable is the meet up of 24 August in Kraftwerk
    2) I think the IDF can make the difference because we have in common a method of work
    3) I think that the goal can be the network

Questions? We've Got Answers

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.

What goes on in an IxDF Local Group?

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

Here's what you can expect:

  • A community of professionals from all walks of life, who share a passion for great design and how it can benefit their career, their company, and society in general.

  • We have ongoing conversations about current design topics and local opportunities, which can help you stay ahead of industry developments and identify career opportunities.

  • And lastly, peer-led sessions focused on specific design challenges that will help you build expertise and sharpen your problem-solving skills.

In other words, we learn together and smile together. We lift each other up.

I'm not even a designer. Should I still join an IxDF Local Group?

Yes, absolutely!

IxDF Local Groups are for everyone, regardless of your professional background.

Design skills make you valuable. In any job and any industry. That's why our IxDF Local Groups are not just for professional designers. They're communities of professionals from all walks of life, who share a passion for great design and how it can benefit their career, their company, and society in general.
