A no-agenda meetup invites UX practitioners, newcomers and design-curious people to talk about work, careers and tools at Mona’s in the East Village.
All times are local to the venue · America/New York
There is no talk to sit through or formal networking exercise to complete at UX Happy Hour irl. A question about a portfolio, a career decision or a design tool can start the conversation, but the evening is left open for attendees to shape together.
The invitation is for designers, researchers, product thinkers and anyone curious about design, from people just entering UX to seasoned practitioners. The listed topics range from design, careers and tools to current questions in UX, AI, product and tech.
The event page names portfolio feedback, career advice and meeting potential collaborators, mentors or future coworkers as possible reasons to join. Those are possibilities for peer exchange, not a promised critique, scheduled introductions or a particular kind of expertise in the room.

UX Support Group’s wider profile describes hands-on experimentation with new tools, but this happy hour is advertised as an open conversation, with no talks or timed activities listed. That distinction matters if you’re looking for a structured session rather than an informal discussion.
The group separately lists virtual “Ai x UX : learn and share” events on Nov. 11 and Nov. 18. Their outline calls for sharing a recent AI experience or lesson, a weekly demo and discussion; those are separate online events, not activities at the Nov. 5 gathering.
