Meeting Facilities
 |
With an annual events calendar that includes teachers' conventions, large scale craft fairs, Farmfair International, the Canadian Finals Rodeo, and numerous other special events, Edmonton has the facilities, experience and expertise to ensure your event is a resounding success. For major conference and social events, consider the Shaw Conference Centre. This city landmark features an 80,000-square foot hall, divisible into three separate spaces and 23 meeting rooms. Northlands Park leads the way for major trade shows, sporting and farm events while the Mayfield Trade Centre offers a 50,000- square foot display area and a ballroom area.
Beyond other venues catering specifically to the meeting and trade show industry, there are many special purpose facilities in Edmonton and surrounding communities, including theatres, galleries, libraries, museums and other attractions. Imagine your event unfolding among the fragrant gardens of exotic plants and flowers in Muttart Conservatory, or guests delighting in a pioneer dinner at historic Fort Edmonton Park. Not only do these venues lend a unique flavour to your meeting or event, they also contribute a value-added feature such as admission to an exhibit, show or sporting event. Magnificent arts and entertainment facilities are also located throughout Greater Edmonton. Sherwood Parkšs Festival Place and Millenium Place, St. Albert's Arden Theatre and Spruce Grove's Horizon Stage are all top performers in the special events field.
