Alberta: cities, venues and capacity
The Alberta picture for an organizer — 193 venues across 11 cities, ranked by what the record can prove rather than by marketing copy.
Commonwealth Stadium states the largest capacity in the province. The dots show what event67 would bill at that head count, and where the price stops.
What the record holds
Alberta is a province of Canada of about 4.3 million people. Edmonton is the capital, though Calgary is the largest city.
Across the province the dataset records 10 exhibition or convention halls, 21 dedicated conference and function spaces, 31 arenas and stadiums, 36 theatres and concert halls and 95 independent event spaces.
The largest stated capacity anywhere in the province is 56,302, which is the practical ceiling for a single-room programme here.

Top of the capacity range
Ranked by stated capacity, then by how much the record can prove. Open data rarely publishes a capacity for a convention centre, so a hall may sit below an arena here without being the smaller room.

Questions people actually ask
Which Alberta city is best for a conference?
It depends on how many people you need to seat and how they arrive. Calgary has the deepest venue list in this province, while Edmonton, the capital, carries the government and association calendar. The table above ranks every covered city by how many venues are mapped in it, which is the closest proxy to choice you will get before you start calling.
How many event venues are there in Alberta?
193 venues across 11 cities are mapped in this dataset, of which 10 are convention, exhibition or conference facilities. That is what open data records, not a complete registry — small function rooms inside hotels and community buildings are consistently under-mapped everywhere.
What does event67 cost for a Alberta event?
950 activated attendees means 900 billable after the free 50, so CA$6,300 for the event. The rate is CA$7 per activated attendee beyond the first 50, and the total for one event stops at CA$6,650 however many more attend. Activated means the person claimed their invite and opened the app. Not when you import them, not when the invite is delivered, and not if they register and stay home.
