From the Kickstarter page:
Calgary Digital Expo is an event and experience for those who work in online video and those who love it. Made for both the creators and viewers of the online video industry. Calgary Digital Expo 2018 is a celebration of everything that makes this medium awesome, bringing together a community that believes online video is the most important cultural force since the motion picture.
Calgary Digital Expo was started in 2018 by J. "JD" Dirom, Kyle Marshall, Steven Lazarowych, Matt Mort, and Jonathan Burkinshaw, building on the concept of community and that people who had only ever met on the internet could connect in real life.
This Kickstarter goal has been set at $20,000, we plan to exceed that, and will continue to sell tickets after the Kickstarter expires at full price via the website, at the conclusion of the Kickstarter. If the $20,000 goal is not reached, it will be deemed that there is not significant enough interest in such a convention at this time.
We hope to see you all at the Digital Expo (August 2018 - Date TBA).

Members of Twitch Calgary and the Calgary Video Creators are also part of this endeavor.
I'm personally part of the Calgary Video Creators group and have already pledged (I'll have a booth + tickets to giveaway on my YouTube channel)
Here is Kyle Marshall with a little more info:
The project is already 8% funded since being announced on March 5th.
I thought it would be cool to get a thread started, gauge interest and help promote it.
Think of this like the Comic Expo but for video creators.
Please watch the Kickstarter video. It should answer all your questions.
The project, if not 100% funded, is refundable.
