How attendees reach it
Edmonton International Airport (YEG) is 29 km (18 mi) out, a standard transfer of twenty to forty minutes outside rush hour.
Being 1.2 km (0.7 mi) from the middle of Edmonton means attendees can walk from their hotel, which removes the single most complained-about line in most event budgets.
Edmonton has 68 venues mapped in total and a population of 1,010,899. The Edmonton guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.
Programming it
At 56,302 the seating bowl is the point and the floor is the room you are actually booking. Plan the day around one big moment here and put everything that needs a smaller room in a second building.
- award ceremonies
A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.
- festivals
An audience of 56,302 is festival scale, not conference scale.
- company all-hands
One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
