Design Talks

2025

Design Talks is a yearly, two-day conference hosted at the University of Calgary that brings the creative community together to explore the changing landscape of design. The event acts as a bridge between different creative fields, inviting multiple industry leaders and keynote speakers to break down the realities of their work.

Rather than focusing on just one discipline, the conference looks at design as a whole. Over the two days, the lineup features speakers covering everything from graphic design and print media to architecture, urban planning, and illustration. The sessions mix keynote presentations with practical workshops, giving attendees a look into how these different industries overlap and adapt to new technologies and trends.
