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

Hi everyone!

Instead of the usual coffee shop or bar, let's enjoy what's left of our summer with a lowkey picnic to talk UX, network and hangout on a beautiful Saturday. Let's share UX design insights and resources, discuss projects or issues you are facing now, or just chat about anything else.

It's going to be an informal, cozy meetup where I will bring some blankets for us to sit, some water, bread (freshly baked by yours truly) and fruit.

Bringing a snack to pass is not required, however, it would certainly be nice!

We'll be located in Central Park, north of 7th Ave, just north of the Dipway Arch. There should be plenty of shade and beautiful views; a nice escape from the noisy city.

Be on the lookout for a group with IxDF signs!

With my previous life as a landscape architect I could not be happier about the location of this meetup! I'll come with no less than three blankets, some sunscreen and a few types of cheese to share.

Tirtho

Hello Devin, would love to join the picnic. Could I know the time, location and the agenda of the event? Thanks.

Devin Harold

Hey Tirtho, the time and location are noted above! (12pm–2pm EST) just north of the Dipway Arch in Central Park, Manhattan, NY. As per the agenda, we are going to have some structured introductions/ice breakers then really just relax, talk UX and have a great time!

Paula McConnell

What a great idea! I'm very interested. What are the details: place, time, food arrangements, etc?

Devin Harold

Hey Paula, glad you think so! The details can be found above. It will be from 12pm–2pm EST, just north of the Dipway Arch in Central Park, Manhattan, NY. I will bring fruit, waters, and freshly baked bread. Outside of that, anything you bring is fair game!

Nikki Espartinez

excited to join this event as well and meet new people.

Paula McConnell

Excellent! Looking forward to it.

Tirtho

Great! Looking forward to it.

Devin Harold

Hey everyone! I know it looks like there may be inclement weather tomorrow BUT my hopes are high! I will keep my eye out and will cancel if it is thunderstorming. If it is only a light trickle, I will push on!

Excited to see everyone tomorrow!

Kanwaldeep Sekhon

I'm really looking forward to the meet up and hope it doesn't rain. It would be fantastic to finally meet UXers and discuss the field, the work and love of making this lovable and usable by all. I will be bringing some munchies with me for sure. I'd bring my furry class partner too, but she's scared of new people, loud noises and if you're not a bug, a bird or a squirrel or another cat, she's not interested.

Devin Harold

I am so excited also! See you there!!

Devin Harold

To all: THE PICNIC IS STILL ON! It's overcast outside but shouldn't rain or thunderstorm. See you all there!

Paula McConnell

I'll be late but I'm on my way from NJ!

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.
