Our workshop venue

J5 Design Calgary

J5 is a human-centred design and innovation firm focused on shaping better services, systems, and experiences. By combining research, facilitation, and creative problem-solving, they help organizations navigate complexity and design outcomes that are thoughtful, inclusive, and grounded in real human needs. 

Their Calgary studio reflects these values in physical form — designed to support collaboration, openness, and meaningful human connection – and is a perfect venue for two of UX Camp workshps.

The J5 Calgary office is a thoughtfully designed space that supports collaboration, creativity, and human connection. The experience begins in an informal café-style gathering area, creating an easy, welcoming arrival that encourages conversation from the moment guests step inside.

A large, flexible gallery anchors the venue and serves as the primary workshop space, well suited for hands-on activities, group work, and facilitated sessions. Surrounding breakout rooms and quieter areas provide options for focused discussion, reflection, or small-group collaboration, while shared kitchen and lounge spaces invite casual connection between sessions.
