It’s already been a week since we wrapped up the 2021 Calgary Resource Resource Fair For Youth & Young Adults with Disabilities! We’d like to give a shout out to our hosts, Knxion Virtual Event Services, for helping us create such a wonderful event!

KNXiON Virtual Events was born out of the Autism Aspergers Friendship Society of Calgary near the start of the pandemic. We provide a one of a kind virtual event experience. We use a platform called Remo, Remo is a fully-brandable virtual event venue that makes it easy to get large groups of people talking quickly and authentically online. The world of virtual events is not going away and unlike any other platform, Remo’s features recreate the feeling of being at a live event.
What is important to KNXiON?
☑️We deliver events for people who make a difference
☑️Employment for the underemployed (all our current employees happen to be Autistic)
☑️Providing virtual events that rival the feeling of in-person events
