You're Invited: UX After Hours – August 22 at Velvet Hippo – DJRDU

Step away from the screens. Connect with your people.

It’s time to close the laptop and reconnect with the humans behind the wireframes.

UX After Hours is DJRDU’s end-of-summer social hour for Senior UX Designers and seasoned product folks to unwind, catch up, and share war stories without the pressure of a portfolio review.

No slides. No sprints. Just good vibes, conversation, and community.

This event will take the place of our previously planned UX Design Summer Camp. We’ll return to our regularly scheduled professional development programming in September with a hands-on, workshop-style event.

We'll be gathering at Velvet Hippo, one of Durham’s coziest spots for design talk and soft landings. Come as you are and stay for as long as you like.

🗓 Friday, August 22
🕓 4:30pm until ???
📍 Velvet Hippo,119 Orange Street, 3rd Floor, Durham, NC
🚗 Closest parking: 326 E Chapel Hill St Public Parking Lot (2-minute walk)

Bring a friend, bring a story, or just bring yourself. We’d love to see you there.
