DESCRIPTION:Saved in Palaner as: saved\n\nPalaner match: 31% · why: lots of
  people going · starting soon\n\nMeet likeminded UX professionals over cof
 fee/brunch and discuss ways to use design to spark social connection.\n\n​
 The Problem: With community spaces on the decline and more people feeling 
 disconnected\, how can we use design to spark deeper connections between p
 eople?\n\n​For our second design impact lab session\, we’ll be using an ic
 ebreaker card game as a lens to discuss how simple interventions can help 
 us go beyond small talk and connect with people on a deeper level.\n\n​The
  Flow (Sunday 26th July 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM):\n\n​10:30 | Coffee & Intros 
 (Paris Baguette Southbank): We’ll meet for coffee & brunch to kick things 
 off. You'll meet other attendees and discuss the problem space.\n​10:45 | 
 Icebreaker Game: We'll break up into small groups of 4-5 and play a Japane
 se icebreaker game designed to encourage you to share what you value in a 
 fun way.\n​11:15 | Discussion: After the game\, we'll discuss how it made 
 us feel\, and what about it was effective at sparking social connection.\n
 ​11:30 | Free Discussion: We'll wrap up with free discussions about UX\, d
 esign\, social connection or whatever is on your mind.\n\n\n\n​Pre-Event M
 ission:\n​Your mission is to think about the last time a stranger became y
 our friend. What happened to spark the connection\, and how did it grow? K
 eep this in mind for our discussion on the day.\n\n\n\n​The Details:\n\nLo
 cation: Paris Baguette Southbank (1 min from Waterloo Station)\n​Capacity:

 s and fresh air.\n\n\n\n​Why Join?\n​If you’re a designer or researcher wh
 o wants to use your skills for more than just conversion\, come say hi.\n​
 It’s a chance to meet like-minded people and consider how design can solve
  universal human problems.\n\n​Who is this for?\n​Our events are for UX de

 ​Who is the host?\n​Hi! 👋 I'm Max - a London based design researcher. Unti
 l recently I was based in Tokyo\, where I ran a small design agency and sp
 ent over 10 years as a meetup organizer. I'm exploring ways to bring desig
 ners together to use our skills to work on meaningful problems. If that so
 unds like something you're interested in\, I'd love to have you join!\n\nT
