A conversation with Bob Baxley on Apple’s enduring impact on product design

Please note: registrations are subject to host approval and space is limited 👉 **Register:** [here](https://luma.com/BobBaxley) This meetup will be divided into two main parts, designed to provide both deep industry insights and interactive discussion: **Part 1: Keynote Talk & Q&A** **Speaker:** Bob Baxley, Designer, Writer, & Advisor (ex-Apple, Pinterest, Yahoo!) **A Conversation on Apple’s Enduring Impact on Product Design:** Lately, industry conversations have been dominated by AI design tools and automated craft. In this wide-ranging talk, Bob explores how Apple influenced the fundamental relationship between humans and technology—reframing software not merely as a utility, but as a medium of individual empowerment. > *"I think the dream of a 'bicycle for the mind' is still out there, but it’s certainly gotten buried by the capitalist impulse over the past few years... My hope is to shift people’s thinking so that they see software as a medium — on par with movies, music, and books — versus a tool."* — **Bob Baxley** **Part 2: Networking, Drinks & Refreshments** Connect with fellow designers, product managers, and builders over drinks and light snacks provided by our host, N26. ## 🗓️ Agenda * **17:00:** Doors open & arrival * **18:30:** Keynote Talk + Q&A with Bob Baxley * **19:30:** Networking & Refreshments * **21:00:** Doors close ## 🚀 Registration & Security While this event is **completely free to attend**, capacity is capped and subject to host approval.
