The Ampersand will be closed for our event. If you'd like to bring in coffee/tea or water, please purchase these in advance from any number of nearby vendors.
Please plan to complete registration prior to 11:50 a.m., as our event program will start at Noon sharp, and late arrivals will not be seated until a break between speakers.
Parking is available in the Harmony Parkade (formerly James Short), which is accessible off of both 4th (Westbound) and 5th (Eastbound) Avenue. The venue is connected by Plus-15 from the East wing of the parkade.
The Ampersand is within close walking distance of most downtown C-Train and bus routes. Please consult Calgary Transit's website for details. The street address is 140 - 4 Avenue SW.
When you arrive at The Ampersand, our check-in team will scan your electronic or paper tickets from Showpass.
If you have forgotten your ticket, you will need to have the name of the ticket purchaser in order for us to retrieve your order.
Once you have been checked in, we invite you to pick up and "Style your badge". If needed, you can also check your coat or large bags at the venue coat check.
Our team members are there to guide you... if you have any questions, don't be shy to ask!
If you require sensory accommodations, please click to visit our Sensory Accommodations information.
Please note that, if you arrive late or have to leave the venue for any reason, you will need to wait for a break in the speakers to be admitted.
The talks are being recorded for posting to the TEDx YouTube channel, and being in the venue implies your consent to be recorded on video and in still images.

With a career that spans building a socially-conscious occupational therapy practice and currently managing operations for her family's industrial lighting company, Shaffina Mohamed is an entrepreneur, community investor, and people connector at heart. Shaffina currently leads the Ismaili community engagement with the Aga Khan Garden, Alberta under the Aga Khan Council for Edmonton. With a strong interest in better understanding the parks and gardens restored and developed by the Aga Khan Trust for Culture worldwide -- including the new garden in Edmonton opening in October 2018 -- her quest for learning and understanding has led Shaffina to be the visionary for a multi-sensory production ‘Reflections in Paradise’ in an effort to bring awareness about the impact of these spaces on individuals, families, communities, and countries.
Our 2024 main event, FLOW: Connecting the Dots, brought together more than 400 participants, speakers, interactions partners and volunteers for an incredible day of sharing ideas. Watch a short highlights video of the event!
We were incredibly priviledged to have Her Honour, the Honourable Dr. Salma Lakhani, Lieutenant Governor of Alberta, and His Honour Dr. Zaheer Lakhani at the event to provide greetings and opening remarks on the value of ideas and volunteering in our communities.
