Co-working Day for Designers + Mentoring

09:30Lisboa

Join us at Casa do Impacto and work alongside other designers from our community. Besides providing you with office space, we'll also host in-person mentoring sessions with senior designers and past speakers throughout the day. Spend the day working alongside other designers from our community, in person at Casa do Impacto. Bring whatever you're working on. Some of us are new to Lisbon, some have been here for years. Either way, it's an easy room to walk into, even on your own. We always have lunch together: Mentor Sessions While you're here, you can book a 1:1 with a senior designer. Bring your portfolio for a fresh pair of eyes, work through a case study, or talk over your next career move. It's a proper conversation with someone who has been where you are. Sessions are in person. RSVP here on Luma first, and we'll email you the booking link a couple of days before the event. We also run a job board for UX designers, if you're keeping an eye out for your next role: https://jobs.lisboaux.com/ Our Slack is invite-only, just so it stays a tight-knit group. Come along a couple of times and you're in. It's where the community keeps going between Fridays: events, job leads, and the people you met at lunch. Tickets are a symbolic 5€, just enough to keep no-shows down, so the people who commit get a seat. If you're a student or between jobs, you can get it back after the event. Grab a seat while there's room. AGENDA 09:30 - Co-working with other Designers (you can join later). 13:00 - Community Lunch at Padaria Portuguesa (optional). 17:30 - Drinks, Show & Tell at Pub Lisboeta. Pitch your product and get feedback from the Community. We also run Adamastor, a publication covering the Portuguese startup scene. It keeps a page and weekly newsletter with every design event happening in Portugal, so you'll always know what else is on beyond our Fridays. We add them as we hear about them, and you can submit your own: https://adamastor.blog/events/design This event takes place at the same place and time as the co-working day for developers by LisboaJS.

WordPress Day for AI Faro 2026 is a full-day event taking place on 24 October 2026 at the AP Eva Senses Hotel in Faro, bringing together developers, agencies, business professionals and the wider WordPress community to explore the practical intersection of Artificial Intelligence, WordPress and digital business. The programme features 16 speakers and 16 sessions across two parallel tracks: Business & Automation and Developers & Agencies. The event focuses on practical applications rather than AI hype, covering topics including AI automation, productivity, AI-assisted development, coding tools, agents, APIs, security, integrations and real-world workflows. Attendance is limited to 100 participants, with tickets at €35 including access to both tracks, two coffee breaks and a seated lunch at the hotel overlooking the Ria Formosa.
