About the Meetup

Accessibility isn't just a checklist; it’s a human experience. Join IxDF Orlando, Tampa, South Florida, and Jacksonville on February 16th for a massive cross-chapter event featuring a true leader in the space: Sheldon Lewis.

After a global career in entrepreneurship, Sheldon pivoted to digital accessibility following his own journey with profound vision loss. He joins us to share his story and lead a deep dive into three cutting-edge technologies transforming how we design for inclusion.

We’ll be joined by experts from:

innosearch.ai – The future of AI Voice assistance.

NaviLens – Revolutionary wayfinding and digital labeling.

accessiBe – Streamlining web accessibility at scale.

Whether you are a junior designer or a seasoned UX researcher, this session will provide a firsthand look at the tools and perspectives that make inclusive technology possible.

Monday, February 16 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM EST Virtual via Google Meet: https://meet.google.com/kee-ssfr-moo

Let’s come together as a statewide community to build a more accessible web.

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 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.

What goes on in an IxDF Local Group?

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.

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.
