This party will be talked about for years....

"Remember that party we went to back in 2015?" 

"Oh yeah. They don't throw parties like that anymore!"


Why is this end of year party going to be so fantastic? Well there are three main reasons:

• There will be Design focused games, and fun. It's for us Design Nerds. Admit it, we know who we are!

• There will be major bass drops. You know what we mean.

• The best part is YOU will help to decide and curate what will happen!


Therefore the party will take on a definite LEAN theme.

Lean Design

Lean Music

Lean Approach to planning and organising the event!


So. Who's in?

Go to the even page to start commenting, rather than replying to the email please. http://www.meetup.com/Interaction-Design-Foundation-Sydney/events/226905333/


Ideas so far:

• Impromptu Product Pitch - Details to come..

• An exploration (Jam Session) of how LeanUX and Music have many similarities. BYO instrument.

• Marshmallow Challenge - See how well you can collaborate and win

• Kanban Pizza Game - Learn how Kanban can help any workflow to improve

• Poetry Readings- Read and or listen to poetry in what could end up being a very unusual setting

• Whose touchpoint is it anyway? - Create a product idea using on very limited options.

• Good old fashioned slam down of great House/Techno Vinyl from the last 20 years

Feel free to comment with the one you like, hate, remix them, add your own idea. We will keep updating the page as new stuff comes in, but do it in the comments so it is immediately collaborative.


We need a sponsor who can either supply or pay for serious wattage for the event. We need a system that will make you feel like the apocalypse is upon us. We are happy to put your logo, web link and promotional offer (if you have one) on this page, and send a reminder to all members. The amount required is $200 - $500 depending on the planning feedback from the group.
