What are Local Groups?
Local Groups will expand your career network—whether you are interested in learning new skills, finding job opportunities or looking for a new employee.
A Local Group is a group of people who, like you, are passionate about design. Local Groups organize meetings to get inspired, have fun and learn from one another.

We will be taking Information Visualization -

“Information visualization skills are in high demand, partly thanks to the rise in big data. Tech research giant Gartner Inc. observed that digital transformation has put data at the center of every organization. With the ever-increasing amount of information being gathered and analyzed, there’s an increasing need to present data in meaningful and understandable ways…” More details on the course page

Meetup Conversation

Autumn
Hi all! Please use this discussion thread to discuss Bookclub is back held on Apr 9, 2024. Feel free to ask questions about the place, date and time, agenda of the meeting, or anything else.
EJ Makela

Hey, Autumn and others! I’m located in Minneapolis, and I ❤️ the idea of doing a course with others! (It aligns with experiences I wrote about here.) I think I might join you.

I’m curious if past “book clubs” have been recorded. I’d love to get a taste of what to expect. I suspect that the answer is no, but I thought I’d ask. 🙂

Meghan Jimenez

Hello EJ, unfortunately we haven’t recorded any of our meetings but I hope you can join the next one!

Meetup attendees

Members can show their interest to attend a meetup by clicking “Attend this meetup” button. In addition, since Local Groups events are open to all, non-members can also attend these meetups.

Members might be bringing their non-member friends to a Local Group meetup (and you’re welcome to do the same), but their non-member friends will not be shown as “attending” because this feature is only available to members.

P.S.: Note that the number of attendees is not an indication of its value! Small meetups work perfectly, and can facilitate deeper, more fruitful conversations.
