Meetup Conversation

Hi all! Please use this conversation thread to discuss Kickoff 2025 with IxDF Dallas! held on Jan 29, 2025. Feel free to ask questions about the place, date and time, agenda of the meeting, or anything else.

The registration link will take you to Luma where the event is “hosted”. Luma will be my way of creating events for the foreseeable future, where the link for the virtual meeting can be found.

Just wanted to say thank you for creating Meetups. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to attend this one. Hopefully, I can attend the next one.

Have fun and take care.

Hi Scott! There will be plenty of opportunities to attend more meetups this year. I’ll host monthly virtual meetups each one focusing on a specific topic. We will continue with bookclub sessions to read and discuss design related books. I’m hoping to bring guest speakers and book some in-person events as well.

Sound like you have things well organized Maribel. And I know everyone really appreciates it, I suspect you are more than just another student. Wishing you all the best in your career.

Thank you to everyone who joined our Kickoff Meetup: Goal Setting for Designers! 🎉 We had an incredible discussion about our goals for 2025, and some exciting themes emerged from our conversation.

Here are some of the key goals our community is setting this year:

✅ Understanding and leveraging AI tools 🤖
✅ Mastering Prompt Engineering ✍️
✅ Exploring AI operator and future predictions on UX 🔮
✅ Using AI tools and creating real-world use cases 🛠️
✅ Learning AI best practices and ethical considerations 📖
✅ Building or refining a strong design portfolio 🎨

A requests from this session was learning how to network strategically—how to build meaningful connections within the design community. So, our next virtual meetup will focus on effective networking strategies for designers!

📅 Next Meetup: Strategic Networking for Designers (Details coming soon!)

Ah, I missed this one! Hope to catch up with you all at the next meetup! Thanks, Maribel for creating Meetups.

I’ll be hosting virtual meetups at least 1 per month plus bookclub sessions and some in-person meetups this year. Hoping to bring some guest speakers about exciting topics too. Plenty of opportunities to come for us to get together.

Please log in or join us to post comments in the conversation.
