The Creatives/Design Team of Innovuze Solutions Inc. joined the Mindanao leg of the UXPH National Roadshow 2019 held at the Ateneo de Davao University on September 28, 2019, with the theme of “Cultivating Design Cultures." Along with the Design Team is their Technical Project Manager as well.

User Experience Philippines (UXPH) is a non-profit organization that holds the largest group of individuals that are into user experience and other related forms of design such as visual design, industrial design, and user interface design. They held their first-ever National Roadshow in the country, which was held in Manila, Cebu, and Davao. People who are into building applications in the tech and non-tech businesses were also expected in their events, as they can get practical insights from the speakers.
