Convention Centres

Calgary’s two major convention centers, The BMO Centre at Stampede Park and the Calgary TELUS Convention Centre are both located downtown, just four blocks apart. Combined, they offer planners over 1 million square feet of meeting space. It's not just space and location that set these convention centres apart - it's the care and attention to detail that their staff bring to every meeting they host.

In 2024, The BMO Centre at Stampede Park, located on Calgary's legendary Stampede Park, doubled its hosting capacity to over 1 million square feet. At an investment of more than $500 million, the newly expanded BMO Centre at Stampede Park offers a visually striking building with indoor/outdoor spaces that exemplify best practices for functionality, aesthetics, and safety.

The BMO Centre at Stampede Park presents A Greater Way to Gather with timeless western hospitality, client-first amenities, and accessible design woven throughout the building.
