A new year is more than a calendar change.

It’s a chance to reconnect, reset, and build new paths together.

We’re excited to invite you to the first IxDF Dubai online meetup of the year, a relaxed and welcoming session to kick off 2026 as a community.

πŸ€– In the new world of product development, AI is no longer just a tool.

It is reshaping how we understand users, design experiences, test ideas, and grow products β€” from data-informed decision-making and personalization to the emergence of new roles for designers, product managers, and UX teams.

This meetup is about bringing people together.

It’s a space to get to know one another, share perspectives, and start meaningful conversations at the evolving intersection of Design, UX, Product, and AI. It’s also a moment to reflect on our role in this new landscape and how we want to move forward together.

✨ What this session is about:

  • Reconnecting with the IxDF Dubai community and welcoming new members

  • Getting to know each other’s backgrounds, interests, and goals for the year ahead

  • Discussing how AI is redefining product, UX, and design practices in 2026

  • Exploring how we can navigate change thoughtfully and grow together as a community

β˜• This is not a formal talk or a heavy presentation.

It’s a friendly, open space to talk, listen, ask questions, and set the tone for the year ahead.

Whether you’re:

  • An experienced designer or product thinker

  • Early in your UX or product journey

  • Or simply curious about how AI and product design are coming together

You’re very welcome here. Your perspective matters.

Let’s start 2026 together with conversation, collaboration, and intentional product and design work in the age of AI.

We look forward to seeing you online.
