Digital transformation (aka DX) is the reimagining of business in the digital age, where technology is creating new — and modifying existing — business processes.
But DX transcends the technology and is reshaping strategy, talent management and development, culture and providing new ways to pursue customer engagement. Everyone brings a different perspective on DX and we bring those perspectives together at mesh.
Our mission
70% of transformations are unsuccessful. We aim to create a digital transformation network and event experience that helps organizations and leaders not only determine what to do, but how to do it — and how to be successful.

Networking
Make connections, get inspiration and meet other DX leaders.
Attendees come to mesh for two reasons.
-
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.
-
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.

meshing in Calgary
The mesh conference is a national event that takes place in Calgary, a place where transformation is everywhere.
Alberta companies will spend $18.4 billion on digital transformation over the next two years in industries such as agriculture, energy, manufacturing, transportation, logistics, health services, life sciences and creative industries.
mesh chose Calgary as its host city because it’s at an inflection point of change with countless amazing transformation stories. Join us in this digital transformation hub to talk about the opportunity for Canada.
