What are Local Groups?

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.

Hi! I just joined IxDF London - so sad I missed this one! It looks interesting - definitely would like to keep my portfolio updated as much as I can, so if anyone knows if an existing recording of this exists - let me know! thanks
