Thriving Downtown Economy
Your convention will take place in a downtown core that currently has over $5 billion in capital investment that is 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 mixed use sports and entertainment district with dining, entertainment, shopping, NHL hockey, and concerts. Our new Ice District enhances the delegate experience in unparalleled ways.
A Hub of Research and Development
Home to some of the world’s top academic institutions, the University of Alberta provides a national and international voice to this innovation and is always seeking ways to share their knowledge with the global community.
