Welcome to Edmonton
Your convention will take place in a downtown core that currently has over $5 billion in capital investment currently planned or underway. Over 2,000 hotel rooms are within walking distance of the Edmonton Convention Centre, where you’ll find yourself at the heart of Canada’s largest sports and entertainment district with dining, entertainment, shopping, NHL hockey, and concerts.
Directions
It’s impossible to miss the Edmonton Convention Centre as you approach from the North Saskatchewan River Valley, but the most convenient entrance will depend on how you choose to arrive. The convention centre sits between 97 Street and Jasper Avenue, and Grierson Hill NW, with visitor entrances accessible at both the top and bottom of the hill.
