Looking for your (design-minded and design-systems loving) people? 🙋 ‍Join us for a night of drinks, snacks, and a conversation around design systems.

What is Offline Mode?

We know that nothing can replace human connection, face-to-face. That’s why we wanted to create a time and space to unplug from email, Slack, and your laundry list of to-dos to connect with fellow designers in real life.

Agenda: Design Systems

Make connections that will open doors to future opportunities, profess your 🖤 for Abstract, and nerd out about design systems and processes including a talk from Abstract Senior Product Designer, Jordan Staniscia.

Here’s what else you can expect:

• Free food/drinks (something for everyone)
• Free Abstract gifts and swag (insert Oprah meme here)
• Friendly faces, warm conversation, and maybe a new Twitter (or IRL) friend

Schedule

• 6:00-6:50 — Cocktail hour / Abstract show-and-tell
• 7:00 — Welcome / opening remarks
• 7:00-7:30 — ”How to fail at building a Design System” — Abstract Senior Product Designer, Jordan Staniscia

Do I need a ticket?

With limited capacity, and an overly excited audience, we've devised a two-tiered ticket plan to best accommodate everyone:

• Donor ($5)*
• Free**

The nominal fee helps us both manage the demand and ensure a commitment from our event-goers, all the while helping a good cause.

At the same time, we understand the importance of providing tickets at no cost as well. If you’re interested in a free ticket or covering the cost for someone else, please select 'Join Waitlist' under the Free ticket option, and we'll followup directly via email.

*100% of the proceeds will go towards a variety of design oriented, professional development projects in San Francisco, CA (via DonorsChoose.org)

**a limited number of free tickets available
