November Coffee + UX Meetup

Add to your calendar:

Our November monthly meeting will be on Monday, November 18. These are cozy, informal events which are excellent opportunities to network with people in our local community. These attract a wide range of designers, researchers, and those who are just starting out in UX.

Based on suggestions at a past events, we are going to add an informal workshopping component to the meetup (I like to think of it as “show and tell”). We'll have opportunities for folks to informally share their design work and solicit feedback from the group. If you're interested in sharing, please post to the message board or email me.

NEW LOCATION:

Cafe Nero, Downtown Boston
560 Washington St, Boston, MA 02111


Date & Time: Monday, November 18 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM.

Agenda:

  • Welcome & Introduction
  • Design Show and Tell
  • Group discussion (learning UX, finding UX work, and design trends and tools)
  • Networking & Chatting

Questions? Suggestions? Please feel free to post in the discussion board or reach out to me directly (kevin@mcgowan.design).

    Hello Everyone,

    Update: This meeting is now going to happen at the Cafe Nero in downtown Boston.

    Capital One let me know that they are changing their hours and have canceled our reservation for the meeting room. It's been nice to use that space for the past few months, but now we need to move to someplace new. For the Nov 18 meetup, we'll go back to Cafe Nero, where we had a couple of great meetups last year.

    Let me know if you have questions or suggestions for a new place to start holding these meetups.

    Best, Kevin

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.
