Design Trends in 2018 - LTUX Amsterdam & Figma Joint Event

From design to development, team collaboration is essential for design systems adoption. We're partnering with Figma who are hosting design systems meetups around the world! In this meetup, 3 speakers will share their experience with the tools and techniques that have helped them succeed. We will end the event with a Q&A session.

1. Design Trends 2018 and Beyond
   Dylan Field will shine more light into the intriguing and exciting world of design systems and how this can significantly influence the quality of products being designed and shipped. Dylan will also share design industry trends he foresees in 2018 and beyond.

2. Get a design system off the ground using Figma
   Starting a design system can be something daunting. Based on her work at ZorgDomein, Heleen will show how you can use Figma to get a design system off the ground in a collaborative and organic way, including hands-on tips and tricks.

3. Designing for the masses
   Uber is available in more than 600 cities and 80 countries worldwide. When designing the perfect experience for each city, product designers at Uber have to consider local cultures, geographic layout and generally how people get around. This experience extends far beyond the Uber app; it includes finding your car, waiting for your food, trusting a stranger and so on. How do we design an experience that facilitates the connection between the digital and physical world – all over the globe?
