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
Alberta is the only province in Canada without a provincial sales tax –
benefitting your core budget, and the wallets of your delegates looking to shop
and explore Edmonton – so every member gets more from their time in
Edmonton!
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.
CANADA’S CATALYST CITY

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
