In partnership with IxDA Brisbane, we're co-hosting a one-day, hands-on workshop with international design leader Cornelius Rachieru in Brisbane, and you're invited.
This isn’t your typical intro to service design. It’s a fresh, practical look at what service design means today—zooming out from isolated touchpoints to full service ecosystems. Perfect for folks in UX, product, research, or leadership who want to deepen their skills and work more effectively across teams and systems.

- Building a Startup is more than Building ProductNeeds location
IxDA Byron Bay is pumped to host this session with Peter Laurie from Inductive. We’ll dive deep into real-world product stories and hard-won lessons—no jargon, no bs, just practical insights that’ll help you bring ideas, products, startups, and scaleups to life.
People (especially product people) think that if you delight the user everything will be fine. This is a decent starter strategy, but it ignores your constraints on both what you can build, and what they'll actually pay for. It is further complicated by the fact that your users effectively lie to you about what they want.
Join Peter as he literally illustrates how he has helped hundreds of startups and scaleups to work on their biggest problem—find product-market fit before they run out of time and money.
There will be drinks and food with networking before and after. Come have fun, meet people, learn and enjoy some good chats as well.
🎟️ This event is free to attend — but if you’d like to support the event and help cover costs to run the group (or pay it forward for someone else), you can make a voluntary contribution at https://donate.stripe.com/fZefZFcwdgjz0Fy5kk
