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.

Meetup Details

Hi IxDF San Diego, let's meet up and network over coffee! We've started CappUXcino & Coffee with some wonderful UXers where we share UX insights and resources, discuss UX problems you are facing now, and complete UX research/design-thinking exercises and activities.

With the UX community growing ever so rapidly in San Diego, some gaps have been created. The goal is to minimize, and ultimately, close the gap between very experienced UX professionals and up-and-coming/junior-level UXers. There is room for everyone in our industry. We'd love to have you as part of our growing community. The CappUXcino & Coffee meetup is your opportunity to meet others interested in growing their chops just like you, while learning and growing your skills.

+ Are you new to User Experience and feel intimidated and out-of-place at larger meetups?

+ Do you prefer smaller, more intimate meetups so your voice can be heard?

+ Would you like to be around other new designers like yourself so that you know you're not alone?

+ Are you looking for a mentor to help you grow in the User Experience industry?

+ Do you appreciate a good space with good vibes and good people?

If you have answered yes to any or all of these questions, we would like to see you at this meetup. Come meet some of your other design peers in San Diego!

For those of you who don’t live downtown (in walking distance) or take public transportation to the meetup, sometimes parking may be a bit of an issue. I wanted to share a link to an app I use called ParkWhiz. They offer deeply discounted parking rates at parking structures and even hotels for valet (not just downtown). If you don’t find free street parking close to the venue, there are usually spots you can find via ParkWhiz (within a few blocks) ranging from $3 and up, depending on the time and location. You won’t have to worry about a 2-hour meter feeding. :wink:

If you use this link, I believe you’ll receive $5 credit after your first use. Hopefully this helps.

Additionally, we have a few spots left in case you want to invite a friend. Visit the Eventbrite page to register: https://www.eventbrite.com/myevent?eid=61762038921

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.
