Why Edmonton?
We would love to collaborate with you! *To add us to your RFP Press the "select venue" button at the top of the page* Edmonton is a city that knows what it takes to make amazing happen. Especially when it comes to your next gathering. We understand that hosting a conference worthy of happy face emojis takes a dream team. Yours and ours. We’ll take your vision and turn it into “unforgettable” for your delegates. How? With creative solutions, can-do attitude and a citywide network of doers and makers eager to roll up their sleeves and get things done. A million plus Edmontonians call Alberta’s capital home. They’re the entrepreneurs, experts, and hosts that can help turn your opportunities into reality. Famous for our festivals, lively arts and music scene, and sprawling picturesque River Valley, we offer much more than just places for your delegates to eat, sleep, and be entertained. And getting here is easier than ever with so many non-stop flights to and from the continually growing Edmonton International Airport. Want to inspire your delegates in the middle of a national park with majestic roaming bison as scenery? We can make that happen. Need a creative thinking space in an architecturally-iconic art gallery? Consider it done. One quick call and you’ll soon see: the word no isn’t in our vocabulary. That’s because our attitude is All In. One thing’s for sure — if you’re looking for a memorable, original, meeting or conference experience, you’ll get it here. Because in Edmonton you’ll find more than a meeting space, you’ll discover the ally you need to make your next gathering succeed. Let’s talk. We're Explore Edmonton's Business Events team. We are a complimentary, full-service organization that provides support, guidance, connections and financial assistance to event organizers looking to host in Edmonton.
