From Austin to New York City, Seattle to San Francisco, attendees can expect hands-on workshops spilling into the streets, giant outdoor screens, and real-time collaborations with other creators - turning learning into a festival of creativity.

• Campus Pop-Ups: Canva offices in Sydney, London, Vienna, Prague, and Manila will be reimagined as interactive learning labs, buzzing with hands-on tutorials, product demos, certification sessions, and high-energy design challenges led by Canva experts.

• Community Labs: More than 50 localized events across Latin America, Europe and
 Asia-Pacific, each led by local Canva-trained facilitators. They adapt programming to regional languages and market needs, from entrepreneurship bootcamps in Brazil to small-business design workshops in India.
