Ruling Principles and Code of Conduct
The Calgary UX is a community that aims to create a safe and welcoming environment for all attendees. We expect all participants to follow our ruling principles and code of conduct to achieve this.
Our ruling principles
Step 1: Build trust, and be kind.
Develop connections based on personal and professional trust. Kindness is at the core of every interaction.
Step 2: Create creative spaces
Create and maintain a safe space for deep-focused conversations, creative confidence and experimentation.
Step 3: Active collaboration
Perform short-term action plans with precise results in mind. We are all volunteers, be very transparent about how much time and energy you are willing and capable of committing.
These principles include building trust, creating a safe space for creative conversations and collaboration, and actively working together to achieve specific goals.
All participants must be considerate, respectful, and collaborative and refrain from demeaning, discriminatory, or harassing behaviour. Anyone who witnesses or experiences unacceptable behaviour should alert Calgary UX staff as soon as possible.
Any reports will be kept confidential, and Calgary UX staff will take appropriate action to ensure everyone feels safe. This code of conduct also applies to online interactions and social media. Calgary UX reserves the right to investigate and address incidents that violate these principles, even if they occur outside of Calgary UX events or if legal proceedings are pending.
Our common goal is to preserve our guiding principles and create a positive experience for everyone.

https://www.tickettailor.com/events/calgaryux/2024829Design work often asks us to think harder when what we actually need is to slow down, ground ourselves, and reconnect.
At UX Camp Calgary, Elisabet Camprubi is delivering a hands-on workshop for designers and practitioners seeking a different way to work through complexity. This session explores how presence and play can reduce overthinking, prevent burnout, and support clearer, more creative collaboration. Through grounding practices and LEGO Serious Play, we’ll work with the body as a compass. The focus is on psychological safety, emotional regulation, and communication in real design work, especially when things feel uncertain or messy.
Lego kit and dinner will be provided.
### What you’ll explore
- Grounding techniques that support clarity and emotional safety
- How play can ease creative pressure and unlock new ideas
- LEGO® Serious Play® as a tool for communication, collaboration, and trust
- Practical ways to stay calm, creative, and connected in day-to-day work

UX Camp Workshop - Bees, Besties & Belonging
J5 Design, 140 4 Ave SW #1500, Calgary, AB, CA# Bees, Besties & Belonging: How building for belonging creates better impact and humans!
Get your tickets here:
https://www.tickettailor.com/events/calgaryux/2017440
Student $30.78 + $2.25 booking fee + $1.65 GST 0
Regular $46.50 + $2.25 booking fee + $2.44 GSTBelonging shapes how people participate, contribute, and connect. It influences trust, collaboration, and whether individuals feel safe bringing their full perspective into a space.
In this 2 hrs. workshop, Hanan Chebib and Laura Lee Ross guide participants through a collaborative, story-driven experience focused on how belonging forms and how it can be supported through intentional design choices. Through storytelling, hands-on activities, and shared reflection, participants will explore the science behind belonging and examine how everyday interactions, systems, and assumptions either strengthen or weaken it.
The workshop is designed to enable everyone to contribute, regardless of background or experience level. Rather than offering a single framework or checklist, this session creates space to think together, learn from one another, and reflect on how we show up in our work and communities.
Dinner included, we will do our best to accommodate food restrictions/allergies.
## What you will explore
• Why belonging matters at a human level
• How meaningful connections emerge in groups
• Design approaches that support inclusion, trust, and participation
• Ways to re-examine our own thinking to create more meaningful interactions. This workshop is for practitioners who want to design experiences that help people feel connected, respected, and able to contribute in ways that matter.Join us on the afternoon of February 26 at J5 Design.
