Hi all! Please use this discussion thread to discuss Manage Your UX Career Like a Business held on Nov 11, 2024.
Feel free to ask questions about the place, date and time, agenda of the meeting, or anything else.
Ok, I’m sorry the meeting got cut off at the end! I raced through the last four slides like I was being chased by a bull in Pamplona! I think I just finished the last slide when the meeting ended.
Thank you everyone for coming and sharing in the conversation. I wanted to wrap up with taking ideas for future topics. One that I would like to see is Motion Design. I don’t have experience with using tools for motion design so if you have experience with that or know someone, let me know!
If you have ideas for future meetups, please message me or start the discussion in the Orlando group thread.

Thank you for organizing this, Kenyon. It sounds great! I could do the 4th or 11th, but the 4th is preferred.
Hi Kenyon! Thank you so much for organizing this event and discussing important topics that I (most likely all of us) appreciate! Nov 11th would be perfect for me as I am off of work that day. Will it be recorded and emailed to us if it’s moved up to Nov 4th? I am in the beginning process of trying to transition into UX from special education teacher and am currently taking a bootcamp certification and IDxF as well!

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.

We help each other find new career opportunities and jobs.
We also host more formal workshops to share knowledge and learn from each other, e.g., case studies, success stories and practical experiences.
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.
