Meetup Details

Kick off the new year by meeting fellow UX practitioners in Philly and beyond!
Join us for a casual, fast-paced virtual speed networking event focused on making meaningful connections—no prep, no pressure.

We’ll rotate through short breakout conversations so you can meet several people in under an hour. Whether you’re new to UX, job searching, career-switching, or a seasoned designer, this is a great way to expand your network and start the year energized.

What to expect:

  • Small-group speed networking (2–15 people total)

  • Guided conversation prompts with a New Year theme

  • A relaxed, inclusive environment

  • Cameras optional, participation encouraged

Theme: UX Intentions, Not Resolutions
We’ll reflect briefly on what we’re bringing into the new year—and what we’re leaving behind—then focus on connection and conversation.

Who should attend:

  • UX designers, researchers, writers, strategists

  • Students, career switchers, and professionals

  • Anyone curious about UX and community

Cost: Free
Format: Virtual (link shared after RSVP)

Come say hello, meet new faces, and start the year with fresh UX connections. We’d love to see you there!
