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.

I just realized Nov 11th is Veterans Day. I could move this up a week to Nov 4th if you all prefer.

Ana Gomez

I think I would be able to attend both dates :)

Alexa Trenk

Hi Kenyon! Thank you so much for organizing this event and discussing important topics that I (most likely all of us) appreciate! Nov 11th would be perfect for me as I am off of work that day. Will it be recorded and emailed to us if it’s moved up to Nov 4th? I am in the beginning process of trying to transition into UX from special education teacher and am currently taking a bootcamp certification and IDxF as well!

Kenyon Congdon

Hi Alexa, It will be recorded no matter which day we end up on. I look forward to helping you get started on your UX journey!

Gail Lynn Fox

Thank you for organizing this, Kenyon. It sounds great! I could do the 4th or 11th, but the 4th is preferred.

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

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.
