Event Recap - One Big Design Happy Hour at Embury

Members of Pittsburgh IxDA, AIGA, IDSA and CMU's HCII program met Wednesday after work to socialize and enjoy specialty cocktails at Embury at the Strip District. The group sampled Martinis, Manhattans, Gimlets, smoky tasting cocktails and ones made with ginger and jalapeño. As we got to know one another, we chatted about our
companies, design in Pittsburgh, and what kind of events we can co-host in the future. Thanks to the folks at Embury for hosting - we appreciate the experience they've designed for their customers.

Hi All,

 

I'm looking for an online resource which contains details of all the best UX and design events coming up over the next year. Does anyone know a good site or community?

 

Cheers

Types of Events

The IxDA Oresund local group is still in its infancy. I have some ideas and notes from the latest Interaction conference, on possible formats for the group. I would like to hear what you would prefer or desire for the group.

  • How often to have a meetup?
  • What kinds of meetups? Social meetups, presentations, demonstrations?
  • Share meetups between Copenhagen and Malmö?
  • If you are in Copenhagen, are you willing to travel to Malmö?
  • If you are in Malmö, are you willing to travel to Copenhagen?

IxDA members - Twin Cities Area

We am looking to host an IDSA event focusing on Interaction Design and wondered if there were any IxDA members in the Minneapolis/St Paul area. The UPA and MNteractive groups have heavy local involvement but I would love the opportunity to collaborate with any local members to hear input and provide engaging speakers and events.

Any suggestions on how to best reach out to local IxDA'ers?

"Good" (in the social/humanitarian/responsibility sense) Interaction Design

I am working on an event in San Francisco called "Forces for Good: Activism + Interaction"

This event will be in conjunction with Design Week SF and is centered around showcasing interaction/product/web/ work from folks who are using their design skills to convey a large socio-political message or to provoke positive social change.
We want to have a eveneing event and then follow up with a weekend workshop of a multi-disciplinary collaborative design-a-thon.

Some great examples I know of are:

[EVENT] IxDA Los Angeles & Yahoo present "Personas SUCK / Personas RULE!", Wednesday, April 29th 7-9pm

Personas. Do you use them? Are they useful or a waste of time? Our
April event will feature persona experts who will explain why, when,
and how personas can be used effectively in your interaction design
process.

What do you do when you know you need personas, but you can't seem to
convince the client or stakeholders? Go rogue!

[EVENT] IxDA NYC – Tuesday March 31 – Marc Rettig - How to Change Complicated Stuff (e.g., the World)

In the midst of a global conversation about change, many designers are
pondering their own impact in the world. How does our experience in software
interfaces, web sites, and physical products prepare us to address the
profound issues humanity is facing? These issues involve many complex
systems, systems too big to fit into the scope of any single company or
institution.
