AI Design Discussion

Hello IxDF Chicago!

AI is becoming an integral part of our lives, influencing our work every single minute, and naturally, it raises many questions such as:

  • Will AI take my job?

  • What are the best AI tools available?

  • How can I leverage AI tools in my job?

...and many more.

Let’s gather to share our thoughts and the AI tools we're currently using. This session is all about open communication and sharing experiences. It’s a chance for all of us to discuss how AI is shaping our field and to learn from each other's interactions with AI tools. Bring your insights, your queries, and the AI technologies you’ve experimented with.

Please prepare to share questions and experiences during the meetup. Post your thoughts and the AI tools you’ve been testing in the chat ahead of time, so we can make the most of our time together.

Join us for a dynamic exchange of ideas as we explore the evolving role of AI in design. Let's navigate these new waters together and see where they might lead us!

Coffee & Talks :)

Hey IxDF Chicago!

Sometimes, the best ideas and solutions come from simply hanging out and chatting over a good cup of coffee. Join us for an informal meet-up at our favorite local café where you can relax, unwind, and connect with fellow designers in a cozy setting. Whether you're grappling with design challenges, have questions about the industry, or just want to talk about life and share stories, this is the perfect setting.

No agenda, just good conversation! Bring any topics, questions, or life updates you wish to discuss—or just come to enjoy the company. It's a great opportunity to step away from the formalities of structured meet-ups and truly connect with your peers on a personal level.

Let's get together, share our thoughts, and enjoy some quality time with the group. We can't wait to see you there and catch up on everything that's been going on!
