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.

Meetup Details

ON HIATUS UNTIL JANUARY

———————

Hi IxDF Toronto, let’s meet online and discuss Service Design! In our video call, let’s get to know each other and share Service Design problems we’re facing and discuss how we can solve them. Save the date, grab your laptop (or phone!), and let’s see each other online!

Our living community agreement:

  1. Take space and leave space.

  2. The lessons leave but the stories stay.

  3. Support and understand one another.

  4. Show up authentically as your whole self.

  5. Embrace inclusivity by seeking voices and perspectives that may not be present.

  6. Welcome bold/wild/fun ideas without judgement.

  7. Ask questions before jumping to conclusions and assume best intentions.

  8. Motivate one another and support each other’s purpose.

  9. Create opportunities to make connections.

  10. Be a good listener and learn from everyone.

Hi all! Please use this discussion thread to discuss Service Designers of Toronto held weekly on Thursdays from 7 to 7:40 pm EST. Feel free to ask questions about the place, date and time, agenda of the meeting, or anything else.

Topic of the week:

This week we will be discussing projects. Projects you are currently working on, have worked on in the past, the good, the bad and the ugly. If you haven’t worked on a project yet, don’t worry, you can still attend and join the discussion.

Sharona

Karissa Manning

Hi there! I was wondering if there is a way I could join virtually? Or book a chat with someone or some folks from this group so I can learn more about service design? I think I have relevant experience and am considering applying to service design roles, so any insight from your experiences are valuable!

Siona Koker

Hello Karissa,

This is a virtual meetup group so you're in the right place. I unfortunately couldn't make it today due to a an emergency. I will be putting this group on pause until the new year but I would be happy to connect with you on LinkedIn if you need your questions answered urgently.

Siona Koker

My apologies for failing to notify all of you of the cancellation of this meeting. I had an emergency and this completely slipped my mind. I will be putting this meetup on pause until the new year so I hope to see more you then.

Meetup attendees

Members can show their interest to attend a meetup by clicking “Attend this meetup” button. In addition, since Local Groups events are open to all, non-members can also attend these meetups.

Members might be bringing their non-member friends to a Local Group meetup (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 meetups work perfectly, and can facilitate deeper, more fruitful conversations.
