What we’re about
Welcome to #KamloopsITMeetup — a casual, welcoming space for all professionals and students who use, build, analyze, support, or are learning about computer services and technology. Whether you work directly in tech (like developers, engineers, and IT pros) or in fields where technology plays a critical role — from data and analytics to design, education, research, and beyond — you’re welcome here.
It doesn’t matter if you’re a student just starting out, a seasoned pro, or somewhere in between — this is a place to connect with others, swap stories, and talk about both wins and struggles without judgment.
We believe technology work is a team sport, and no one should feel isolated when they hit a roadblock or make a mistake. At our meetups, we value honest conversations, curiosity, and psychological safety. Come meet new people, share your experiences, ask for advice, and learn from each other — all in a relaxed, friendly environment.

Event Overview
Join us for an evening of learning, networking, and great conversations at #KamloopsITMeetup. This event is an opportunity to connect with fellow tech professionals and enthusiasts, share insights, and explore industry trends in a relaxed, welcoming environment.
We will start with introductions and a short icebreaker, followed by a recap of key takeaways from VMUG Connect in St. Louis. Then, we’ll hear from IX Solutions, our event sponsor, about their unconventional, for-the-people approach to business technology. As a boutique managed services firm based in Western Canada, IX Solutions is redefining IT services by blending personalized care and genuine guidance—building real, lasting relationships instead of offering one-size-fits-all solutions.After that, appetizers will be served, and the rest of the evening is dedicated to open networking.
This is a casual, no-pressure event—grab a drink, meet new people, and share your experiences.
