CANUX 2024 PROGRAM

We are currently working on revealing the speakers for our 2024 program. This year’s format will be similar to last year’s, with 2 days of workshops (Wed-Thu), followed by 2 days of single track, plenary conference sessions (Fri-Sat) ranging from 25 to 45 minute timeslots. The Friday schedule will be from 9am to 5pm, while the Saturday schedule will be from 10:00am to 4pm. 2-day conference tickets include access to the plenary sessions on Friday and Saturday, while workshop tickets must be purchased individually.

The 2024 conference will be progressively revealed starting in the spring and is currently underway. This year’s program highlights both Canadian and international user experience and service design-related stories, that cater to diverse interests and perspectives. To stay up-to-date with the latest CanUX 2024 announcements, check this space and subscribe to our monthly newsletter.
