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

Speculative Design for Decolonized Futures

Friday, March 21 2025 / Workshops

This workshop aims to encourage participants to think beyond traditional frameworks and design practices, fostering an inclusive approach that acknowledges and honors diverse cultures and worldviews. We will use Speculative Design to create Design Fictions through hands-on facilitated activities to explore decolonized UX design by imagining alternative futures and examining how current design practices can perpetuate colonial legacies. The goal of the workshop is to spark creative thinking, critical reflection, and actionable insights on how to build more equitable, inclusive, and culturally sensitive digital experiences today by imagining the future.
