Did you know that IxDA has over FIFTY IxDA Local Groups around the world? IxDA St. Petersburg (Russia)... to IxDA Belo Horizonte (Brazil)... to IxDA Columbus (Ohio), word is spreading and people are gathering to bring IxD topics to life within their communities of practice.
Check out our growing list here: www.ixda.org/local.php There are many ways for you to be involved with IxDA Local Groups outside of this list! 1. Attend a local event in an area near you Check out the list of local groups and contact them directly. Even better, raise your hand and volunteer to help out. You can help your Local Group thrive! 2. Start a local group in your area If you don't see your area listed, contact localgroups(at)ixda.org and we'll let you know if something is already starting or if you should take the lead and get a group going. Big or small, Local Groups take many different shapes. Start one! 3. Help IxDA Local Groups at a global level Want to be involved in supporting Local Groups around the world? In order to keep this great momentum going, we're in need of a few good men and women to: - help create support materials for our local groups - start gathering best practices that new groups can learn from - manage day-to-day local group requests - reach out to groups that are just starting up and need a boost of inspiration - encourage participants to join or start Local Groups at Interaction09 - write occasional local group spotlights to demonstrate how Local Groups are working in different locations It's a passionate group of people to work with, and a great way to get to know fellow IxDAers from around the world. Please contact Janna at localgroups(at)ixda.org if you're interested.
