​Slack bubbles and Insta comments aren’t all that so a few times a year, we all come together to see each other’s faces & voices in cyberspace.

​Our community hangouts are an informal space to come meet other practitioners at the intersection of AI and Design and we’re hosting our next one on Thursday August 24 at 18:00 CEST / 12:00 EDT!

​We'll kick off with a round of quickies with randomise 1-to-1 meetings of 5 minutes each. No pressure, good times only, 10/10 Would recommend. Some of the AIxD team will also join in the space as an extension pack so if you’re interested in becoming a contributor, come meet us and explore potential matches.

​From there on, simply come-as-you-are. We'll open up gather.town for you to explore and interact as you'd like. Continue conversations from your 1:1s or gather around our virtual gallery to meet people interested in the same things as you.

​The room will be hosted by the amazing Prabhnoor Kohli who’s our first AIxDESIGN Community Steward, a UX researcher & digital rights activist.

​Sign up here through Lu.ma and we'll send you a message in time with everything you need. See you then!

​AIxDESIGN is an independent and DIY org meaning we rely on donations to keep going. Please donate the recommended price if you can afford to help cover operational costs of hosting this event and make sure we can keep existing and doing so in the future.
