About the Meetup

Social UX: Crack the case breakfast workshop with Janneke van Amelsvoort

Put your UX, marketing, business or other talents to the test and help an entrepreneur out with their real-life business challenge.

On this morning Janneke van Amelsvoort founder of Aerial Yoga Nederland, Bungee Super Fly and Super Fly Studios will present her case, their challenges and her world-changing vision which you can contribute to directly.

The Challenge.
Janneke has successfully launched Aerial Yoga Nederland and is now expanding to a new form of movement called Bungee workouts and dance. She believes that everyone has the ability to Fly out of their comfort zone and tap into their full potential while lifting others up. She has now opened a new studio in Amsterdam where all of these initiatives come together under one umbrella. With her team she has some questions she could use some support and advice on to expand her vision in the world.

The questions.

(1) The users
How to reach clients locally and internationally with different products? (B2C, B2B)
(2) The strategy
What would the online strategy look like and what are we missing?
(3) The tools
We have 3 websites. What is the best way to communicate?

What is Social UX?

Local but international & informal meetup in cooperation with Interaction Design Foundation (IDF) & Social Impact Factory. Putting people first. Human-centered ideas. Design Thinking.

Not restricted to any title, profession or religion. An experimental LAB we enter together to create better, more meaningful relationships with people (clients, users, stakeholders).

The Red Thread: by understanding and connecting with people’s needs and not losing them during the design & decision making process when it comes to websites, products and experiences you will:

Be able to create more successful, meaningful products and experiences
Loose less time working backwards (after a launch, fixing the mistakes)
Avoid frustration of unsuccessful product launches
Avoid waste (of money and time)

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. 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.

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.
