Meet-Up Details

Hi IxDF Edinburgh,

I'm from the Aberdeen area, a total newbie to UX and wondered if anyone fancied meeting up at some point for a chat & coffee? I'm keen to network with anyone who wants to - whether you are just starting out like me or have been in UX for a while. Hopefully some folk will be up for this. Please let me know if you are. Thanks everyone, hopefully hear back from you soon. Blair

Meet-Up Discussion

Hi all! Please use this discussion thread to discuss Coffee / UX chat held on Nov 30, 2019. Feel free to ask questions about the place, date and time, agenda of the meeting, or anything else.
Anne Walker

Hi, all! Looking forward to this event and meeting others.

Blair Cunningham

Good stuff Anne, look forward to meeting you!

Steve Perry

Can't make this one (again 😟) but hope to make the next one!

Blair Cunningham

Hi Steve, no probs at all. Hopefully catch you next time.

Gail Gleeson

Hi, apologies I was a week ahead of myself in my calendar! I hope to be able to come along next Saturday.

Also don't know if you were aware but there is a UX Edinburgh Meetup group that come together once a month too.

https://www.meetup.com/Edinburgh-User-Experience-Meetup

The next gathering is Monday 2nd December which I hope to be going to. Last time they had arranged speakers to present UX courses available to us. Don't know as yet what the agenda will be for the next one. But worth joining :-)

Chat soon

Blair Cunningham

Hi Gail. No probs at all. Glad you can make it along. Thanks for the link to the other meet up as well. I've joined up but will not manage to make it down for the 2nd Dec unfortunately.


Blair Cunningham

Hi all. I've set a location for the meet up. Hope it is ok. I am not from Edinburgh so just searched around and found this. It looked a relaxed and comfortable place to meet up but if anyone else has some good suggestions please feel free to share them :) Also, i have tweaked the meet time to 10.30am, hope this is ok for everyone. If not we can change it back, i just thought it might be better in the morning incase anyone has places to be over lunch time. Finally, just to reiterate, I am a complete newcomer to UX so will try and contribute to discussion as best as i can, but may spend most of the time listening to others! ha. Apologies. Looking forward to meeting you all though. Speak soon. Blair

Anne Walker

Hi, Blair and everyone. Thanks for the location update but I'm afraid I might not be able to make it at half ten as i have something to go to then. I'll try and make it if I can, though!

Many thanks

Anne

Samuel Gogolak

Hi All, I'll be in Edinburgh Dec 2-10 and Glasgow Dec 10-15. I'm planning to move to Scotland in early 2020. If anyone would like to get coffee while I'm in town and talk about UX and life in Scotland, I'd be really happy to meet some new friendly faces. Cheers, Sam sam@manofmanyways.com

Blair Cunningham

Hi Anne. Thanks for the reply. No problem at all. We can easily move the time to suit. There seems to only be a few of us anyway. What time will suit everyone? Will we just stick to the original time of 12noon?

Anne Walker

Hi, Blair. Thanks so much. Happy to go with what's best for the majority.

Thanks! Anne

Blair Cunningham

Hi Sam. Good stuff. If you look at Gail's post above it has a link to a UX meet up on the 2nd Dec. Might be of some help. All the best. Blair

Gail Gleeson

Hi Blair,

Apologies I will be unable to make the meet up on Saturday now - really hope to see you all at the next one.

Gail

Anne Walker

Have fun on Saturday and sorry if I can't make it at 10.30. Hope to meet you all some other time.

All the best

Anne

Blair Cunningham

Hi all. Thanks for the messages. Shame we couldn't quite get it sorted but hopefully in future we'll get a chance. All the best, have a great weekend. Blair

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.
