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.

Meet-Up Discussion

Kateryna Zabrodska
Hi all! Please use this discussion thread to discuss Game ON: Design Thinking in Action held on Oct 15, 2024. Feel free to ask questions about the place, date and time, agenda of the meeting, or anything else.

The timing overlaps with some of our working hours, but I hope to make it.

Heiko Polinski

We figured starting earlier than usual would affect some of you, but maybe this helps: While the event time is stated as 4:30pm, the first hour of the event will be the networking part and a brief lecture. The workshop part will most likely begin at around 5:30pm. So for everyone, who is still at work by the time we open the doors, you’re free to join us later!

Sounds like a great event! I registered by accident and can’t figure out how to un-register within this interface. I regret that I won’t actually be joining. Hope to see you all at another event.

Meet-up attendees

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

Members might be bringing their non-member friends to a Local Group meet-up (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 meet-ups work perfectly, and can facilitate deeper, more fruitful conversations.
