Beyond Design community

Being a design leader can be lonely and challenging. Or like talking to a brick wall. We want to change that by connecting people and facilitating conversations.

We organise roundtables and conferences for a network of product and design leaders in the Netherlands - we call it the Beyond Design community.

Our events are meant for design leaders like you, from a variety of companies. Here you can discuss your experiences and challenges, and exchange ideas 
with design and product professionals from different markets and industries. Different contexts, but same experience, or so we hear! The morning roundtables are informal, small group discussions with a maximum of ten participants from companies that do not compete with each other. The events we organize bring the whole network together. Interesting, right? 
Join the Beyond Design community today!

“Thanks for having me, and for building this community. Great discussion!”

- Koert Bakker, Head of Strategy at PwC Experience Center

Topics Beyond Design

The topics we discuss revolve around the bigger theme of DesignOps and leveling up the UX Maturity of your design practice. Here are some example questions we have dived into at the previous roundtables:

  • How to move from stakeholder management to stakeholder collaboration.
  • How to build the business case for a design system.
  • How to connect product and business outcomes.

Who is it for?

Beyond Design community is for leaders in digital product design. We connect product managers, product owners and design leads with a few years of experience in the field. We aim to build bridges, break silos and work towards a common understanding of digital product development between business- and product teams. Whether your company is already quite mature or taking the first steps on the UX maturity ladder, we're here to learn from each other.

What else is in it for me?

  • A major network of digital product professionals.
  • Joining our exclusive events (and perhaps be a speaker yourself).
  • Opportunity to join several remote roundtable sessions.
  • Invite to the private Beyond Design LinkedIn group.

Join us

Our community manager Irene will carefully evaluate your application to ensure that we continue to cultivate a thriving and valuable community for all.
