For our April Chapter meetup, IxDF Chicago is immensely pleased to host Vivianne Castillo and Alba Villamil of HmntyCntrd, an award-winning organization that's committed to transforming the status quo of being human-centered through courses, community, and consulting. They leverage their multidisciplinary expertise across counseling, sociology, UX, and innovation consulting to help you become more confident and skilled at implementing ethical and equitable practices in your profession as well as creating trauma-informed teams and organizations. 

They will be with us on Thursday, April 13, from 6:30-7:30 CST, for a Fireside Chat and will be taking your questions that Ipsita will use to help moderate the discussion.

So Vivianne and Alba can get a sense of some of the questions that are top of mind for you right now, let us know via this form, so that we can spend our time together really digging deep into the topics most relevant to deepening your professional and personal growth.  Given the sensitive nature of these sorts of conversations and to encourage candor, this event will not be recorded. 


We’re looking forward to this conversation.

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.
