Thank You, Calgary!

WOW — what an incredible two days! UX Camp Calgary 2025 is officially a wrap, and as organizers, we’re filled with gratitude, joy, and pride after hosting our very first UX Camp here in Calgary.

To our amazing community: thank you for showing up, selling us out, and bringing your full energy to the event.

From the deep-dive workshops on March 21st to the inspiring talks, engaging panels, and vibrant networking on March 22nd, your presence made this experience unforgettable.

We want to offer our sincerest thanks to the people who made UX Camp possible:

  • ✨ To our volunteers – your dedication, kindness, and behind-the-scenes magic kept everything running seamlessly.
  • 🎤 To our speakers – thank you for sharing your knowledge, perspectives, and vision for the future of UX.
  • 🛠️ To our workshop facilitators – your sessions were packed with insight and practical takeaways.
  • 🤝 To our sponsors and community partners – thank you for believing in this vision and helping bring it to life.

This was just the beginning. Our goal was to create a space for Alberta’s UX professionals, designers, developers, and innovators to connect, grow, and be inspired — and we’re so proud of what we built together.

We’re already looking forward to Edmonton's UX Camp in May 17, and next year's edition! Let’s keep growing this incredible community, one UX Camp at a time.

With love and gratitude,

The UX Camp in Calgary Organizing Team

Land Acknowledgement

We acknowledge that the Calgary area where the Bow and Elbow rivers meet is a place of confluence where the sharing of ideas and opportunities naturally occurs. Indigenous peoples have their own names for this area that were in use long before Scottish settlers named it Calgary.

The Métis call the Calgary area Otos-kwunee. In the Blackfoot language, they call this place, Moh-kins-tsis. The Stoney Nakoda Nation refer to the Calgary area as Wîchîspa Oyade and the people of the Tsuut’ina nation call this area Guts-ists-i. We would like to acknowledge that we are located on the traditional territories of the people of the Treaty 7 Region in Southern Alberta.

This includes: the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai collectively known as the Blackfoot Confederacy; the Îethka Nakoda Wîcastabi First Nations, comprised of the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations; and the Tsuut’ina First Nation. The City of Calgary is also homeland to the historic Northwest Métis and to Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3. We acknowledge all Indigenous urban Calgarians, First Nations, Inuit, and Métis, who have made Calgary their home.
