About this event

Brighton Designers - No fluff AI meet! (Feb 24, 2026) — a practical, hype-free meetup for designers and UX professionals exploring AI in day-to-day work.

Overview This in-person Local Group meetup, organized by the Local Leaders of IxDF Brighton, invites designers and UX practitioners who are experimenting with AI in real projects. The goal is to cut through hype and theory, focusing instead on what’s actually helping and what’s getting in the way when AI is integrated into daily design work. It’s a space to share concrete experiences, show-and-tell demos, and swap practical workflows that you can start using in your own practice.

Date, time and venue

  • Date: 24 February 2026 (note: the page title references Feb 19, 2026, but the event details list Feb 24, 2026)

  • Venue: Central Brighton area (location to be confirmed / TBC)
  • Attendance: Free and open to all; you don’t need to be a member of IxDF to join

What to expect

  • Real-world AI in action: discussion topics include AI for research, ideation, prototyping, writing, testing, and how to evaluate what “good” AI-enabled design looks like in practice.
  • Relaxed, conversational format: expect relaxed chats, quick show-and-tell sessions, and practical exchanges about changing design processes to incorporate AI tools.
  • Networking and peer learning: a chance to connect with fellow designers, share experiences, and learn from each other’s experiments with AI in design workflows.
  • Local context: a Brighton-centric meetup focused on applying AI techniques within local design teams and studios.

Who should attend

  • UX designers, product designers, researchers, and design leads exploring AI integration in their day-to-day work
  • Individuals curious about pragmatic, non-hype AI adoption in design and prototyping
  • Makers and solo practitioners looking to learn from peers about practical AI-enabled workflows

  • Open discussion about what’s working and what’s not when applying AI in real projects
  • Short show-and-tell demos where attendees share AI-powered approaches or prototypes
  • Swap practical methods for researching, ideation, prototyping, writing, and testing with AI

Why this stands out

  • A no-fluff, hands-on focus on what actually works in real design contexts
  • Free, inclusive, and open to non-members
  • A local gathering that encourages practical experimentation rather than theoretical debate
