    Hi Everyone ... i can understand that it will be an IxDF Lagos related group but will it be for nigerians only ? since non Nigerians may want to connect to peers too

    Your point is valid Tony. But I think we should get to know ourselves locally first before we start bringing other members of the community in.

    Hello Everyone,

    It's been months since someone suggested we have a group for Nigerians here, it appears nothing has been done or one existing. We should create a Telegram or Whatsapp group for All Nigerians Under IxDF. If you're in, drop your mobile here.

    Cheers!

    For privacy sake i think you can just create the group and send the link here so anybody interested can connect with the link. Just my thought :)

    @Opeyemi Slack is fine from a Tech standing point. Also, I don't think we need a Whatsapp group anymore with the numbers of group that we Nigerians are currently an active member. And with slack, we could maintain privacy.

    Great idea guys! but can we do Slack instead of Whatsapp? Slack is ideal for tech platforms because of its features. It's a suggestion tho!

    Hi guys. Went through the thread and realized majority of us have questions but no one seem to be giving an answer so I guessed it's because we done use platforms like this on a regular but if that is the case, then can we create a group either on telegram or whatsapp as suggested by @Owolabi Aregbesola? for ease of communication. Peace!!

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.
