IxDF Birmingham City Meet up @ York's Cafe

Hi all!

Mo and I had an inaugural meet up at lunchtime last week in Birmingham. I think we both got a lot out of it, it was great to learn about her experiences and to share some stories!

We thought about having another in a couple of weeks @ Java Lounge just off Victoria Square.

We'd both love to meet some new UX folk, so please feel free to come along if you can!

Please use this discussion thread to discuss IDF Birmingham City Meetup held on Nov 21, 2017. Feel free to ask questions about the place, date and time, agenda of the meeting, or anything else.

Cheers,

Rob

I'll be coming. Looking forward to meeting you

hi guys! It would be great to know more people in the field! Great initiative. See you :)

Unfortunately I won't be able to attend tomorrow but hope future sessions will take place as I would be very interested in meeting anyone involved in UX.

Hey Jessica, Balandino (and Preyesh),

Looking forward to meeting today, unfortunately Mo is unwell today, but I'll be at Java Lounge for 12.30pm - I'll try to get a table.

I'll try to look as much like my profile pic as possible, and be as visible as I can, so will look out for you!

See you at 12.30 :)

Rob

Hello all,

Unfortunately, I've caught a bug of sorts and won't be able to make it today. I would love to attend in the future though.

If you feel like networking anyway, I am happy to provide my details :)

Hi guys.. I'm very sorry I cannot make it either... Stuck at home with my PhD thesis.... :( Is anybody around next week?

Hi all, so Jess and I met today. We had a great chat about our respective experiences as Teams of One and what we might do in this meetup in the future.

I've updated the date for two weeks time - Tue 5 December, same time - 12.30pm, same place - Java Lounge - so hope some or all of you can make it - see you there!

Thanks,

Rob

Hey fellow brum based uxers. I'm at client offices on the 19th and will try and pop down for a quick chat. I'm actually in a full day session, but we've all gotta have a break at some point. Looking forward to meeting those that are there :)

Hiya, I'm going to try and make it. Might see you there!

Hi all, I'm not going to renew my IDF membership so my profile will be deleted very soon.

However, Mo and I are still meeting to discuss all things UX and Brum on a loose monthly basis, so if you're interested in keeping in touch or coming along, I've setup a Twitter account for it, here's the link:

https://twitter.com/UXBirmingham - please follow for meet up information

Just for the record, I've had no problems with IDF, I just didn't have time to spend on the courses and can't justify the costs. Hope to see you around Brum - keep the UX flag flying!

Cheers,

Rob

Hi Everyone,

I've just joined and waiting to start a couple of courses "ux designer from scratch" and "how to become a freelance designer". It would be good to meet with like minded peeps. I live/work in Telford, lunch in Birmingham sounds good but not particularly practical for me is there any plan for after work or weekend meet ups? Has anyone done the courses I'm going to do?
