A unique social experiment event that will change the way WE think about connecting with strangers.
What opportunities can only happen when strangers come together?
Our intention is to help Calgarians discover new ways to delight strangers, to create unexpected moments of joy and connection in public and online spaces.
In a time where we are more wary than ever of each other, Teknion and Social Studies Lab are partnering to create an event to bring us closer together.
DISCLAIMER:
We would like to inform you that a minimum number of attendees is required for this workshop to proceed. In the event that this minimum is not met, we will cancel the workshop and issue full refunds for all tickets. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

building UX communities in Alberta
Building on the success of our previous UX Camps in Edmonton, the 2025 conference promises to be an engaging and dynamic gathering of UX professionals, designers, developers, and innovators from across the province.
The partnership between Calgary UX and Edmonton UX represents a shared vision of fostering a thriving user experience community across Alberta. By joining forces, these two groups bring together the unique strengths of their respective regions, creating opportunities for collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and innovation.
Calgary UX is a vibrant community fostering connections among UX professionals through workshops, networking, mentorship, and creative collaboration.
Our goal is simple: to connect and grow a community of people across disciplines and industres that share a passion for design and UX.
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.
