About the Meetup

POST MEETING UPDATE:

In order to give continuity to the efforts of creating an amazing local XR community and organize a first in-person event, I kindly ask you to fill out this form: https://goo.gl/forms/ydqhSFhTOxySiSZO2

I will send you all a report as soon as we have around 20 to 30 respondents at least. Fell free to send it to friends and colleagues working with XR or curious about the topic.

Cheers!

Felipe

FINAL UPDATE: Hi people. So,here are the details for our online meeting this Saturday at 2pm (Montreal time).

As I said the goal of this online meeting is to get to know each one of us a little bit, so we can share with the group our experience and motivations about VR/AR (maybe in the future we can separate them, that is, having events specificly focused on VR or AR). I know some people might have a lot of experience and maybe others not so much. But even if you don't have much experience please tell us what excites you the most in the field.

We will have the challenge to keep this meeting very short (40 min), so once we start, I will check how many are actually in the room and we can then divide the time accordingly. After this first meeting, I will have a better idea of the community and we can then start to organize in-person meetings with guest speakers and focus on certain topics.

Please, access the meeting using the following link: https://zoom.us/j/594231485?pwd=OHBrSnNWNmErelRvSm...

All you need to do is to click on the link! If you never used Zoom before, try to access the meeting room 5 minutes before 2pm, just in case. :) At 2pm we will start. It will be great to meet all of you and I truly hope this can be the beginning of a great community.

Hopefully, it will work just fine!

See you all soon!

Felipe

PS: No one said anything about speaking only french, so I am inferring we are all comfortable with English. However, as I said I also don't mind if we have people speaking in French. We are in Montreal, so more than fair to make of this community a friendly and openly bilingual one.

Hi IxDF Montreal, let's meet online and discuss UX for VR! In our video call, let's get to know each other and share UX problems we’re facing and discuss how we can solve them. If we all feel comfortable, we can then schedule a day to meet in person!

Salut IxDF Montréal! Nous pouvons nous rencontrer en ligne et discuter de l'expérience utilisateur pour la réalité virtuelle! Lors de notre appel vidéo, nous pouvons faire connaissance, partager des problèmes UX auxquels nous sommes confrontés et discuter de la façon dont nous pouvons les résoudre. Si nous nous sentons tous à l'aise, nous pouvons alors planifier une journée de rencontre en personne!

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.
