WHO WE ARE
A volunteer-run community for Chicago's digital thinkers.
Nivan Community (formerly UX Synergies, and originally IxDA Chicago) enables real conversations about UX, CX, AI and the whole world of digital design. We invite members working in UX design, visual design, UX research, product development, AI, and customer experience to join us in person - to learn from and network with one another.
