mesh calgary 2023

We break stuff, then put it back together again

Technology and creativity are reshaping talent, strategy, culture, business and customer experience. And today, everyone is a practitioner of change.

We mesh people, ideas, and industries together to figure out what’s next, so we can talk about the opportunities and unintended consequences of innovation.

Transformation comes in a lot of shapes and sizes, and our job is to help you figure it out.

Next event: Calgary, June 11-12, 2024

This year’s theme is “Catching the wave: How to spot the opportunity, when to jump, and where to bail” (Learn more)

Experience surprise and delight moments that happen when you mesh people together. 

On-site demos

See hands-on examples of new tech, platforms and digital tools.

Networking

Make connections, get inspiration and meet other DX leaders.

Attendees come to mesh for two reasons.

  1. We blow your mind on day one with ideas and inspiration, and on day two we produce practical workshops so you can tackle digital transformation when you get back to work.

  2. We are the only digital transformation event that brings people from multiple industries, so you’ll cross-pollinate and find inspiration and ideas from people you don’t typically connect with — creatives, public sector employees, technologists, developers, business strategists and more.

The mesh innovation showcase

This program intended to recognize innovation and digital transformation leaders from underrepresented communities across Canada. Called the mesh innovation showcase, the program is run in collaboration with The51, The A100, and Platform Calgary. Learn more about the mesh innovation showcase.

Connecting Canadians

mesh is a national event hosted in two Canadian cities — Calgary and Toronto. Bridging the East and West is both a requirement, and our commitment.

Creating space for people to learn, build, and scale innovation takes dedication and teamwork, and a lot of amazing people.

Given that a lot of geography separates us as Canadians, we have committed to looking for ways to connect our country’s digital transformation ecosystems so we can achieve our mission. One important way we do that is by bridging the East and the West, which we do by hosting in more than one city.

We have teams, collaborators, partners and friends in Calgary and Toronto whose networks extend out from each city so we ensure mesh is meaningful and impactful on a local, regional, and national scale.

Calgary and Toronto
DX Journal

We put sponsors and speakers in front of millions of monthly people via media partners including the DX Journal, the first cross-industry publication dedicated to digital transformation. The DX Journal is part of the Digital Journal news network.

MCC

Moore Carlyle Consulting (MCC) delivers creative direction and execution for mesh. As a full-service event agency, MCC transforms mesh into a true experience for attendees in both Calgary and Toronto.
