    Hi Kit,
    I got to the wrong place. I was in North Greenwich. Don’t think I can make it.

    Hello everyone! I had thought that it would be nice to enjoy some sunshine but it looks like the weather has other plans! I think it might be prudent to move this indoors, and I will post a link of where the venue is. It will be close to the park, so as not to cause too much confusion!

    Hi Kit, this is such a thoughtful initiative. I would love to attend.

    Could you tell me more about the agenda of the meeting and since I wont be in London at the said time. Could a hybrid meeting be possible.

    I could join virtually.

    Thanks

    Hi Leke, I’m so sorry that I haven’t replied earlier - I don’t think I will be able to do hybrid. My intention is to gather as a group to discuss what we are learning, what we are enjoying and to get to know some other students! I think that I will organise another session, and I hope that you can come to that one :-)

    Hi Kit,
    Thanks for replying. Really appreciate that. I’m having relocation plans to Canada and I’m currently in Nigeria at the moment. So there is a real chance, I won’t be able to attend the next one either.

    I thoroughly honor your intention for gathering. I wouldn’t suggest any other way. However, if it were possible, could you have one session that is completely virtual. The intention of your meeting wouldn’t be changed in the slightest, only the means of accomplishing it.

    Perhaps you could ask some of the attendants of this in-person meeting if it’s something they might be up for.

    Hey man(Kit), you’re doing a great work in helping facilitate some of these discussions anyways. Even if things don’t go my way, I’m really thankful for your leadership.

    I connected on Linkedin btw, kindly connect. :-)

    Hi Kit, my work is all over the place so it’s hard to give exact times. I wish I could! I might be able to shift some things and get somewhere from around 630 but realise this may be too late for some. Hope to meet you soon too!

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.

In other words, we learn together and smile together. We lift each other up.

I'm not even a designer. Should I still join an IxDF Local Group?

Yes, absolutely!

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

Design skills make you valuable. In any job and any industry. That's why our IxDF Local Groups are not just for professional designers. They're communities 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.

We're a community with heart and soul, so you never have to face the job market alone. At IxDF, we lift each other up, learn together, and spark friendships that grow your career.
