2.7 km (1.7 mi) out from the middle of Calgary — close enough to book a downtown hotel block, far enough that people will expect transport laid on after dark.

Calgary has 72 venues mapped in total and a population of 1,306,784. The Calgary guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

Programming it

At 16,605 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 16,605 is festival scale, not conference scale.

  • company all-hands

    One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
