About the Meetup

Hello IxDF Brussels community ๐Ÿ‘‹

This is the in-person version of the online pulse-check last week. Time to take the idea of a great community into the real world, and what better way than over a well-deserved after-work pint?

Same spirit as before: informal by design, no slides, no agenda, no pressure. Just a casual drink among people who care about the craft โ€” and are curious about where design, product thinking and AI are taking us. Conversations can go anywhere, from research and UX, to product, AI, or the wild intersection of them all.

The goal is simple: meet the other minds in the community and characters that shaped them

The deets:

  • ๐Ÿ“… When: 18th or 19th of March (exact date & time confirmed based on interest)

  • ๐Ÿ“ Where: Pl. de Londres, Ixelles 1050 (venue shared with confirmed attendees)

  • ๐Ÿบ Format: Relaxed after-work drinks. Come as you are, for a pint, coffee or soda, stay for as many you want (no judgement or commitment allowed ๐Ÿ˜Š)

This is meant to become a regular meetup, so if this date doesn't work for you, no stress at all. There will be a next one. And one after that. Just drop a ๐Ÿ‘‹ so we know you're out there and I'll make sure you're looped in.

From here, I'd love to shape the format around what this community actually wants โ€” whether that's regular social nights like this one, design critique sessions, lightning talks, or full-on presentation evenings. Each takes a different level of organisation, so your input genuinely matters.

Drop a ๐Ÿ‘‹ in the comments if there are questions, register if keen!

Open to UX/UI designers, product managers, developers and AI enthusiasts. All perspectives welcome! the more eclectic the crowd, the better the conversation ๐Ÿ˜Š

Questions? We've Got Answers

What is an IxDF Local Group and why should I join one?

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 cafรฉs, 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.

What goes on in an IxDF Local Group?

Your IxDF Local Leader organizes meetups based on what members want most. As an IxDF member, you can also plan and create your own meetups. 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.

I'm not even a designer. Should I still join an IxDF Local Group?

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.

Get a Place To Belong.
Meet the Right People

In a world that's getting more artificial and competitive, IxDF brings the heart back, so you never have to face the job market alone.

Learn together, get mentored, find your next job, and build friendships that grow your career.
