There will be beer and wine sold onsite for cheap ($3 a drink), so bring cash! Otherwise you are welcome to BYOB it as well.

We expect a ton of folks out for this event, so show up early as there’s a limit on how many people we can squeeze into the AcceleratorYYC space. Looking forward to seeing everyone out to support the tech community and AcceleratorYYC’s new space.

When we started mesh in 2006, we had pretty humble goals: we simply wanted to create an event in Canada where people could meet and talk all about the exciting happening things on the Web. There were conferences happening in the U.S. and Europe but, for whatever, reason there wasn’t anything going on in Canada.

Over the past five years, mesh has attracted terrific speakers and enthusiastic attendees. Along the way, we started to get requests to bring mesh to other cities across Canada but with full-time jobs, it wasn’t something that we talked about but never got around to making happen…until now.

We’re excited about the creation of meshwest, which will kick off on June 8 in Calgary. Like mesh, meshwest is focused on providing insight and stimulating conversations about four streams – media, society, marketing and business – with a focus on exploring what’s over the horizon.

Meshwest speakers include Shopify co-founder Tobias Lutke, ICUC Moderation CEO Keith Bilous, venture capitalists Mark MacLeod and Danny Robinson, marketing strategists Leigh Himel and Sarah Dickinson, social media consultant Doug Lacombe, as well as the mesh gang – Mark Evans, Mike MacDerment, Mathew Ingram, Rob Hyndman and Stuart MacDonald.

We’re looking forward to having some great conversations and meeting some new people in Calgary. You can learn more about meshwest at meshwest.ca.

Last night we had a great showing over at CriticalMass for our eleventh edition of DCC. We had an ample supply of Halloween candy and beer (thanks Deloitte and CriticalMass!).

We had three presentations last night..

John Bristowe: IE8

Ashley Dunfield: Lifesocket

(no photo!)
And in between I (David) presented a thought piece on User Experience

You can checkout some more photos from the evening on flickr, and if you had the chance to take some snaps make sure to tag them (democampcalgary, democampcalgary11) so everyone can find’em.

Lastly, as there’s more and more of an initiative to get people talking on twitter (#yyc reprezeeeent) why not share our IDs in the comments. To get things started if you want to follow some of the organizers of DemoCamp Calgary, there’s Sarah (@superblue), John (@jbristowe), and myself (@d4v) (will Patrick get on twitter, only time will tell). :)

Till next time!

Luckily our friends over at CriticalMass have offered to host us at the last minute. Thus DemoCamp 11′s home will be there:

402 11 Avenue SE (MAP)

Lastly, the Calgary UX group will continue to meet up as well, however at a The Vicious Circle which is about 10 minute walk from CriticalMass.

So in summary:

Calgary UX Meetup

Where:
The Vicious Circle
1011-1st St. SW
(MAP)

DemoCamp Calgary 11

Where:

Sorry about all the last minute confusion, but we hope to see you there!
To make up for it, we’ll make sure there’s some beer lying around at Critical Mass for you to consume.
