Hi UX designers in Los Angeles!
Join us on September 29th for World Interaction Design Dayl! Participate in emerging conversations about Culture and Sustainability.

Agenda
06:15 PM PST - Sustainability and The Human Element by Matt Burgess
There is a tremendous amount of focus on systems thinking when discussing environmental change and sustainability. This messaging often ignores a vast majority of the population whose sole concern is to simply make it through the day and put food on the table. This talk explores a bottom-up focus to compliment our current tendency to intellectualize our very human problems.
06:45 PM PST -Design Culture and How to Identify it by Jared Tredly
What makes a great design culture and how do you know if the company you’re interviewing with has one?
07:15 PM PST - The Power of Storytelling by Jennifer O’Connell
Discover the empowerment of sustainable technology through the influence of storytelling.
About IxDD
World Interaction Design Day is an annual event where we come together as a united global community to show how interaction design improves the human condition.
Our aim is to have a positive, long-lasting impact by facilitating activities that support dialogue and outcomes.
Given the global pandemic, this year’s edition of IxDD will be a digital-first experience. We’ll continue to come together, but apart, through regional live stream events from around the world.
Presented in partnership with Adobe and IxDA, we welcome everyone to engage in content around the theme for 2020: Culture and Sustainability
Registration is FREE and REQUIRED in order to attend this event.

What is an IxDF Local Group and why should I join one?
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?
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.
