Why Choose Calgary?

Big City Capacity. Small Town Hospitality

Calgary offers so much more than just the space to host a meeting, but we've got that too, 1 million square feet of it. Here are the top three reasons to choose Calgary for your event: 

  • Calgary doesn’t have a sales tax, so your event will automatically be 7% cheaper than in Vancouver, 8% cheaper than Toronto, and 10% cheaper than Montreal. 
  • Calgary is a scenic 1.5hr drive from one of the most beautiful places on the planet – Banff National Park. 
  • The Calgary International Airport offers a low stress flying experience, while still providing direct flights from approx. 90 destinations.
