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

Happy 2020 IxDF Manchester! We're testing out a new format of meetups every 2 months to be more focused and cater to what most of you seem to be here for. A non-judgemental support group on how to make it in the UX field, and let off some steam.

It's part of the job description..!

Agenda

30 minutes support group:

How to transition into UX
Developing your UX career
Coursework discussion and help

Afterwards:

Networking
Wine 🍷
Problems and barriers you're facing at work

About Night and Day Cafe

Like the name suggests, you can get day drinks like tea, coffee and juice, or something stronger like beer, cider, and mixers if you've had one of those days.

Who'll be there?

As usual, your local leaders will be on-hand to laugh and cry with you.

Charlene is a UX researcher that came from a marketing background.

Chuck is a UX/UI designer that came from a software engineering background.

Hope to see you there!

I’m working away this week and gutted that I’ll miss this meet. It would have been perfect for me as I am transitioning into UX from software developer.

Will there be another session on this subject or anything I can follow-up with?

Thanks

Hey Chris, sorry you can’t make it! We’ll host these every other month, but if you want to have an informal chat on the phone before then, you can drop me an email at chuck@chuckwired.com.

Best of luck on your transition otherwise
