We’re excited to announce Edmonton’s first UXCamp, 8:30-4:30, July 18th hosted at Grant MacEwan and sponsored (so far) by the MacEwan Design Studies program, Guru Digital Arts College, nForm User Experience (and you?).
UXCamp is for people who want to learn and share about user experience, design, usability, information architecture, user interfaces, service design, and anything and everything else about creating better products and better experiences.
Registration will open shortly, and the event is free, with costs being covered by sponsors (we still need help there, so if you can kick in even $100, drop us a note). We’re limited to 100 people by our venue at MacEwan, and spots will be filled on a first-come-first served basis.
Other cities have held UXCamp, DesignCamp, or InteractionCamp before, and we’re looking forward to growing the community in Alberta.
Who’s Responsible
Cam Linke started talking about a UX Camp a few months ago. Jess McMullin from nForm started to help out, and roped in Marc Brisbourne, MacEwan’s latest instructor in their Design Studies program. We can still use co-conspirators, so if you’d like to help out with logistics or volunteering, please let us know in a comment on this post or via Twitter (Cam or Jess).
More details soon.

Edmonton User Experience Event
I have been waiting to hear about an event like this for some time. This is exactly what I am looking for, as I focus strictly on clean, efficient interfaces (whether it’s for the web or for applications). I’ll be keeping my eye on this space for updates. If there’s a need for help, please feel free to ask!
Would love to come but it’s the same day as the World Wide Photo Walk.
Got us a mention on http://www.uxbooth.com/resources/uxcamp-edmonton/
My friend is a part-owner of UXBooth, and he’s run some pretty damn successful websites – the site is great for learning and really digging into the grit of UX
