Convention Centres
Learn about the two convention centres that make Calgary a Tier 1 convention destination.
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.
