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

Have you recently started out in UX and want to keep on top of career-planning? Me too! So let’s meet up and network over coffee or a beer! I’ve done one of these before, and it was a nice and relaxed meeting which everyone contributed and learned something.

Meet-Up Discussion

Hi all! Please use this discussion thread to discuss Let's talk about our emerging careers in UX & our next steps! held on Aug 10, 2021. Feel free to ask questions about the place, date and time, agenda of the meeting, or anything else.

Oops, unfortunately I can’t make it this time, but will try for next time

Wow, great to see so many of you want to come!

This will be an in-person meeting, because I have too many digital meetings already and imagine I am not the only one! Please amend your response if you can’t come in person.

Then I will check on capacity for the venues I have in mind and keep you posted.

Cheers.

IMPORTANT: It’s great others feel the need to connect too! Please check if you can make it, and change your reply. A few of us are not in London.

Hi, Michela, Tumi, Matthew, Sandra, Josefa, Sinan, Pilar, Egle, Nick, Chris and all other London UXers who hope to come, can we please make this a week later - so the 17th August? Please like/comment or, even better, email me at lee@wordsthatserve.com and we’ll pin this down!

Happy to meet the week after, though I don’t think anyone has got this message in their inbox. (only saw because I was checking location) Might need to change the event details if you can.

I will be there. Can’t wait as I missed an earlier one due to school holidays and being away.

Looking forward to this next week!

i will be there

hey, also when you add Royal hall and london bridge together it gives you a lot of options on Google maps. just yo confirm- we are meeting at Royal hall by the river( closest station waterloo)?

Sorry for the delay with the more specific instructions

Hi Lee.

Thanks for organising this - i’ve been silently watching!

Never been to one of these meet-ups yet so hopefully my first - 6 year old permitting!

So i’m not sure if i’ve missed something but haven’t seen an exact location to meet - all seems a but vague considering the Royal Festival Hall is massive!

Do you have an exact spot? Or is it best to email.

Sorry if i’ve missed all the details somehow!

Odette

Sorry for the delay with the more specific instructions, which are now below

UPDATE: We are meeting on the ground floor by the music - see Matthew's post below

I will be there by quarter last wearing an orange jacket and mustard top. *07860785957*

Hi all, I propose we meet at Level 6 of the Royal Festival Hall. You will be asked to check in with your Covid app at the front door. You can get a coffee on the ground floor. I suggest start to gather from 6 and start the meeting at 6.30.

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you today

So guy on the door says Level 6 is closed…

Ok, I suggest the highest level we can now get to. Or simply level 1, perhaps? Can you check?

I'm hanging by the info desk near the music. Grey parka and satchel

Ok, thanks for hanging in there, just left London Bridge

Okay, cool, thanks for hanging in there.

Just changing at London Bridge as we speak.

Come in via the Riverside entrance and at the far end (left side) of the ground floor are some seating we could take up. The music's still audible but not too invasive

In case anyone else is joining we’ve just moved outside in front of the bar by the riverside entrance

This is a very good UI course: https://learnui.design

Bit expensive but I would say it’s 100% worth it. They have an slack where you can submit the homework and get feedback

Hey Lee, really gutted I missed the meet up on Tuesday (cold has finally cleared up :))! Just wondering if there’s any future plans for another meet up?

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.
