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 Details

Hi! The first meet-up has been a sort of "Hi, nice to meet you, I'd be glad to see you again! Cheers :) " but:

a lot of people were missing;
we had not a specific purpose beyond the mere interest to meet each other.

So I would invite you to a second event to meet also who wasn't there on monday.
Feel

free to bring anything you want to share single projects, a draft of

your next portfolio, some specific concern about UX, some weird

proposal,...or any other little content that costs you near zero effort

;)

It would be nice if we could manage to find some kind of common goal to pursue in personal and mutual interest.
I'd propose to meet on monday 29th at RIZO Cafè, 18.30.

Let's see if it works for you, eventually, we'll postpone the date.
Of course it's open to anyone.

See you there :)

Meet-Up Discussion

David Montenegro

Hi all! Please use this thread to discuss about the place, date and time, agenda of the meeting, or anything else.
I've set the date on Jan 29 but it can be discussed (but it's good to have a starting point).
If no one answer you'll find me there anyway :)
Ciao.

Hi David. Thanks for organizing this Meet-Up. Looking forward to meeting you and others.

I finish work at 18:30 but will try to finish a little early so I can make it on time. Depends on traffic but might be 10-15mins late.

I have a suggestion for a possible discussion topic. How about where we see the future of design heading? Although I'm not so knowledgeable on that topic, definitely not able to do a whole long discussion on it.

I'm happy to discuss one design project I have been recently involved with. Would enjoy hearing any other IxDF'ers experiences also!! Anyone else got something to share??

Hi Monique, thanks for expressing your interest.

All the suggestions are warmly welcomed as far as they cover a shared interest. Your question "where we see the future of design heading?" is quite broad in my opinion. Design is a very broad field and stated like this sounds like a speculative design topic.
Probably you refer to UX design and future fields of application? That would be nice because it might help setting some specific field to specialize ; btw I'll personally take any prevision with a grain of salt ;)

Bring what you want to share, I'm interested in seeing the process that you've followed ;)

If you (all) agree I'd suggest to go like this:

a quick didascalic introduction (background of origin and motivation to learn UX principles)
what are we heading for (building a prtfolio? changing our carrer path? seeking a promotion? any other goal? whatever...) and if we'll find common goals we could find some synergyes to pursue them the easiest way. (I'd not exclude that, because of different goals, more than one group can raise).
than go with the flow and we'll see what happen! :)

What do you (all) think about? Any other proposal?

DISCLAIMER: I've just open a meetup like any active user can do, but I don't decide anything, I just set what I consider a "default"; in this cas I've set a sort of "proto-program" just to have a shared idea of what to expect. Feel free to propose any edit to the program, it's open to contributions ;)

See you there tomorrow ;)
