Save the Date: CanUX returns to Ottawa in 2024

Preparations for our next edition are under way…

 CanUX is back in Ottawa in 2024.

In a world where the economic uncertainties of the last couple of years is finally catching up with experience design events worldwide, many UX conferences are taking a year off in 2024. Major events, like IxDA’s Interaction Week, UX New Zealand, UX Australia etc. are skipping 2024, while others have simply stopped running. We originally planned on running our 2024 edition in Montreal, but the stars didn’t quite align to move the conference this year, so we’re delighted to announce that the 13th edition of CanUX will take place as usual in Ottawa this fall.

The dates for this year’s CanUX conference will be Wed-Sat, October 30 – November 2, 2024. Similar to last year, the plenary conference days will be Friday and Saturday (Nov 1-2, 2024). Our usual two days of workshops will precede the conference on Wednesday and Thursday (Oct 30-31, 2024) and will feature hands-on activities led by renowned experience design professionals from Canada and abroad. This will allow our speakers more time to return home ahead of the work week and we’ll all be able to take advantage of the extra hour of sleep due to daylight savings after the conference on Saturday night.

We’re also thrilled to be returning to our amazing venue, the Canadian Museum of History (formerly the Canadian Museum of Civilization) Theatre, which, unlike 2023, should have all of its renovations completed by the time CanUX 2024 rolls around.

Our organizing team are working once again to bring in a special all-star lineup of UX professionals from around the world. Back this year will also be the newbie dinners on Thursday, Oct 31st, and the cinq a sept (happy hour) on Friday, Nov 1st.

A limited number of early bird tickets will also go on sale in the spring and our conference hotels will also be published in the summer. If you’re interested in becoming a sponsor this year, our CanUX 2024 sponsorship brochure is currently available.
