About the Meetup

AI will be a gift to UX professionals. Just not in the way we think. The gift won’t be some new magical tool that somehow makes UX easier. Nor will AI “discover” some previously unheard-of method or technique that will change UX forever. Those are not the gifts AI will give us.

Too many organizations are rushing to push AI capabilities into products and services, making them more frustrating. Teams are too focused on delivering something they can call AI, ignoring whether that new capability brings value to their customers and users.

UX professionals are now well-positioned to clean up the AI mess and ensure that products deliver delightful experiences. With the right skills, practices, and perspectives, UX folks can exceed customer expectations and anticipate users' needs. This new effort will spawn a resurgence of the UX field.

👉 Where is AI currently degrading the experiences of customers and users?

👉 What new skills, practices, and perspectives will UX professionals need to clean up their AI messes?

👉 How do UX leaders use this opportunity to boost the visibility and value of these essential UX capabilities?

Join IxDF Las Vegas with Jared Spool as he explores how UX leaders ensure their organization focuses on delivering value. Discover how your training and expertise will be essential to this AI future and will contribute to the UX field’s resurgence.

Why Join

Meet people who love design as much as you do. Together we learn new skills, grow our networks, and discover new job opportunities.

Questions? We've Got Answers

An IxDF Local Group connects you with people in your city who are building and applying design skills in their work. Together, you'll strengthen your craft, expand your network, and put theory into practice.

IxDF Local Groups meet regularly in person at cafés, company offices, or creative spaces to share ideas, give feedback, run workshops, and learn from each other. Many groups also organize IxDF Design Dinners, where the conversation goes deeper over a meal. These aren't just social events. Members find collaborators, clients, job leads, and future teammates through them.

You'll also have access to a private online forum where you can get career advice, honest feedback, and support from people who understand the work.

You don't need to have a "designer" title to join. If you care about how design shapes products, careers, and organizations, you belong here.

Join and you'll discover new skills, explore job opportunities, and build relationships with people who understand the power of great design.

Your IxDF Local Leader organizes meetups based on what members want most. Sessions range from hands-on and structured to relaxed and informal.

Some examples of what you'll find:

Presentations from local designers, followed by Q&A
Lightning talks where members share lessons learned from real projects
Workshops where you work through a real design challenge together
Portfolio reviews where you get honest, practical feedback
Coffee meetups and design dinners with open conversations about where the industry is heading

Any member can propose, organize and post a meetup. You don't have to wait for your Local Leader to take the initiative.

What stays consistent is the people. You'll find designers and professionals who ask good questions, share what they know, and show up for each other between meetups too.

Yes, absolutely!

Design skills make you more effective in any role. Product managers, developers, marketers, researchers, and founders all work better when they understand how to think like a designer.

IxDF Local Groups reflect that. Members come from all kinds of professional backgrounds, not just design. What they share is an interest in how design shapes products, decisions, and careers.

You'll fit right in regardless of your background.
