A Quick Clarification for Our Photography / Creative Community

We’ve noticed some confusion surrounding recent photography events in Calgary, so we wanted to clear something up. Curiosity Refresh Workshops was not involved in organizing, hosting, or running the recent Socality event at Platform. Sunday October 18th, 2026. 

All the hard work for this awesome event was created by the Socality team ! (high five) 

We recognize that Calgary’s photography community is closely connected, with many familiar faces, brands, and industry partners supporting multiple events. But we want everyone to know that our friends at Socality killed this event and to please show love to everyone on their team.
