Dive Club LIVE hosted by Double Diamond & Ramp
Double Diamond and Ramp are teaming up to host NYC's biggest design event of the year - a live-recorded episode of Dive Club hosted by Ridd.
Ridd will be interviewing some amazing guests about the future of design workflows, surrounded by an audience of NYC's most cutting-edge, AI-pilled designers and builders.
The Format
There is a massive appetite in the design community right now for real, concrete answers about how AI is changing our craft and what the workflows of the future will look like. We're bringing in Ridd to facilitate a hands-on conversation about this future.
We'll be opening with some presentations from some of the best designers/builders working right now, followed by a fireside conversation with the presenters, hosted by Ridd.
The Panel
Ridd (Michael Riddering) - Ridd is our conversation host and panel moderator. As the creator of the hit design podcast Dive Club, he's one of the most influential voices in design today.
Meaghan Choi - Meaghan leads design for Claude Code & Cowork at Anthropic, where she's exploring the future of AI for work.
Panelist #2 - Announcing on May 7th.
Panelist #3 - Announcing on May 14th.
Audience & Curation
The audience will be intentionally curated. We're looking for evidence that you experiment with AI and demonstrate talent as a design practitioner and/or builder.
This likely looks like any of the following…
Links to projects you have built and shipped recently
Portfolio of strong work
Relevant published content (e.g. a blog post, twitter post, or linkedin post)
Recording & Sharing
We'll have a professional production crew recording the full event as well as the moments before and after. Whether you're able to make the event or not, you'll be able to access the full conversation after the fact via Dive Club and/or Double Diamond's podcast feed - the evening’s conversations will be released jointly as an episode of Dive Club and Double Diamond.
If you choose to attend, please expect to be on camera and to appear in the content we produce and distribute.
