Meetup Details

Hey, UXers and Designers in Thessaloniki and Greece!

Mark your calendars for Tuesday, May 6th, 2025, and join us for the next Thessaloniki UX Meetup!

This time, we’re hosting a thought-provoking open discussion titled:

UX vs Business: Who Doesn’t Understand Whom?

In this session, we’ll dive into the dynamic between UX and Business by exploring questions such as:

  • How do business stakeholders view the UX process?

  • Why do we often feel that “they don’t understand our work”?

  • Are we perhaps not speaking the language of business?

  • Do we effectively translate our UX outcomes into understandable metrics?

We’ll share stories, exchange use cases, discuss challenges, and brainstorm creative ways to translate UX values and results into business-friendly language.

Here’s the plan:

  • 6:00 PM – 6:30 PM: UX Career Coffee

Grab a coffee and join us for a relaxed chat about UX career opportunities. Whether you seek advice, collaborators, or job leads, this is the perfect space to connect.

  • 6:30 PM – 8:30 PM: Open Discussion Session

Engage in a dynamic, two-hour dialogue where we exchange experiences, brainstorm solutions, and work together to bridge the gap between UX and business.

📍 Where: OK!Thess, Komotinis 2, Thessaloniki
☕ Refreshments: Drinks on us!
🧑‍💻 Bring: Your curiosity and enthusiasm!
❤️ Who’s invited: Everyone—this event is free and open to all.

Meetup Conversation

Hi all! Please use this conversation thread to discuss IxDF (In-person) Thessaloniki UX Meetup, May 2025: UX vs Business - Who doesn’t understand whom? held on May 6, 2025. Feel free to ask questions about the place, date and time, agenda of the meeting, or anything else.

Hi Ioannis!

It would be great if both this and all IxDF Thessaloniki meetups could be remotely monitored, so that we Southern Greeks could also follow them.

Is this possible?

Best,
Panos

Hey Panos,

Thanks for raising this point!

We’re constantly reconsidering our current approach of not offering remote participation at in-person meetups, aiming to keep physical engagement high. On the other hand, we’re aware we might be missing out on connecting with friends outside Thessaloniki, like you.

We’ll keep exploring this balance. Thanks again for your feedback!
