EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ABOUT EDMONTON
Edmonton is the capital city of Alberta, Canada and North America’s
northernmost city with a population of a million plus. We are famous for our
love affair with festivals, fab shopping, lively arts and music scene, sprawling
picturesque river valley, and Instagram-worthy food for every taste. We have
world-class venues, all the best hotels and an international airport that flies
to 60 worldwide destinations non-stop. We are a modern urban centre in the
heart of wilderness, but it’s the warmth of our people and their welcoming
spirit that truly make Edmonton different than other cities.
ALBERTA’S CAPITAL CITY
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. Alberta is the only province in
Canada without a provincial sales tax—benefiting your core budget, and the
wallets of your delegates looking to shop and explore Edmonton—so every
delegate gets more from their time in Edmonton!
CANADA’S CATALYST CITY
Edmonton is a catalyst for change. And we’re not talking about the type of
change you find in your sofa. Our dream team will work with yours to take
your vision and turn it into “unforgettable” for your delegates. How? With
creative solutions, a can-do attitude and a citywide network of doers and
makers eager to roll up their sleeves and get things done.
