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.

Hey IxDF Chicago,

I don't know about you, but we have definitely been missing the post-work happy hour. While it is not patio season yet, we want to bring some of that energy to our May meet-up. So, grab a drink of your choice, ours will most likely be coffee… and join us from the comfort of your own patio (Or wherever you can attend from).

We really want to create opportunities for everyone to mingle and get to know more about their fellow IxDF community members, which can be hard to do when we are all on one large call together. We will be utilizing breakout rooms again to allow for smaller groups so everyone can hop in on the discussion and share their thoughts on the topics that we will be sent out closer to the event.

See you there!
IxDF Chicago Community Volunteers
