Hi IxDF Madrid,

I'm new to the IxDF family and just started taking my first courses. Just graduated with my MBA at IE Business School and now looking to enter the design and startup world.
If you have any tips or advice for getting started in this industry, I'd be happy to meet with you for coffee!

Abrazo,

    Hey guys, let's meet tomorrow at Hanso Cafe on Calle Pez at 8pm.

    I would love to have it on the weekend at some point as well - if anyone can organize it I would be happy to join. I'm away from Madrid most weekends but if there's a time and a place I can make things happen.

    Also, no pressure if you can't make it. It's incredibly informal - just wanted to meet the community and start talking to you guys :)

    Hello! Could it be possible to held this meeting at weekend instead of a workday? I don't know if more people here have my problem but I work at an office in a 9-5 schedule. Any other possibilities?

    Kind regards!

    Christian is right. It is not easy to meet during the week or,at least, it could be better to meet during or after the dinner time

    And where?
    'El imparcial' is a nice place to have meetings with coffee if we're only going to be six, if not Google Campus is also a good place to work :)

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.
