Howdy Hey IxDF Vancouver,

My name is Adam Haesler and I was so inspired by the last meetup that I wanted to host one of my own.

The magical outcome for me of the last event was finding a new career in service design, so you really never know what might happen if you come and share.

I want to spread the value for others, so let’s get together again!

All are welcome, NO knowledge or commitment to the material from IxDF is required to participate. Pssttt last time I had barely started my first course in introduction to UX, and I knew nothing about UX.

Looking forward to chatting with you!

    Hey Adam,

    Thanks for arranging this and sorry I missed it - to be honest I haven’t had time to log on much recently but looking to get out there and network again! Will there be another one of these?

    Thanks!

    Niki

    Howdy Hey Niki,

    Thank you for your inquiry.

    To answer your question absolutely. I plan to keep things going on a monthly basis, not sure if that will be true during August, as I am now a group leader.

    The next event I am planning as a design session for the group and where it is going, and what it will become.

    I believe there is huge potential to help people achieve all their design goals through and with the help of the group.

    So stay tuned.

    Have an amazing day and thank you for your message!

    Looking forward to seeing everyone at the event! Many attending I did not meet at my first event and Hossein coming back for more, so should be great discussion.

    I will have a sign I will place in plain view, on my head if necessary, lol, so you can find us, it will show the IxDF logo.

    If you have any questions I can be reached at haesler.adam@gmail.com

    Have an amazing day!😃

    Thank you for responding Hossein.

    Yeung, Hossein is correct no limit is set. Although, if planning on bringing people with you let me know how many so I can get a table that will be inclusive.

    Looking forward to seeing you and have an amazing day!🎊

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.
