UX and Beers: Christchurch Edition

Add to your calendar:

Kia ora, IxDF Canterbury!

Who is keen to meet for a beer and discuss our experience and learning of user experience? I'm not sure how large this group is, but was thinking it could be fun to meet in a bar or restaurant somewhere central towards the end of April or early May, introduce ourselves and chat about any projects, tips, strategies and methods etc.

It would be great if we could encourage UX momentum and community down in the south island!

Cheers!

    Hi Zoe, how are you doing? I've created this group not so long ago and it's good to finally see some people joining it. Right now we are 4 members but I'm keen to try to make it bigger. =)

    Hi all,

    Hope your week is going well!

    The Christchurch game developer meetup is on tomorrow night so I propose that we think about an alternate date for this IxDF introduction meetup. Alternatively, if you are interested in game design, feel free to go to meetups and attend the game developer meetup too!

    This is a regular meetup for and run by the game developer community. My current UX research project is concerned with designing a game so I need to make it to this session, but the meetups are generally interesting.

    Also your recommendations for locations for the future IxDF session are welcomed! I returned to Christchurch early last year so you are likely to have ideas for good spots that I haven't yet made it to.

    Hope this doesn't inconvenience anyone.

    Cheers,

    Zoe.

Questions? We've Got Answers

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.

Remember: Your network is your net worth.

What goes on in an IxDF Local Group?

Your IxDF Local Group is led by an IxDF Local Leader and serves as a vibrant hub where you can network, learn and grow.

Here's what you can expect:

  • A community of professionals from all walks of life, who share a passion for great design and how it can benefit their career, their company, and society in general.

  • Meetups are the heartbeat of IxDF Local Groups, whether we meet at a café or a creative space. There's nothing quite like the magic of meeting face-to-face to share ideas and inspiration.

  • We have ongoing conversations about current design topics and local opportunities, which can help you stay ahead of industry developments and identify career opportunities.

  • And lastly, peer-led sessions focused on specific design challenges that will help you build expertise and sharpen your problem-solving skills.

IxDF Local Groups are for everyone, regardless of your professional background.
