How attendees reach it
47 km (29 mi) to Edmonton International Airport (YEG) is far enough to change the shape of the programme: a first morning session will lose the people who flew in that day.
At 21 km (13 mi) from the centre of Edmonton, plan on transport between the hotels and the venue as a line in the budget rather than an afterthought.
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
This is a room for a workshop, a chapter meeting, a training day or one track of a larger programme. Anything with an exhibition attached needs a second space.
- networking mixers
An independent space with its own character, which a mixer benefits from more than a conference does.
- fundraisers and galas
A room with a personality is worth more at a gala than square footage is.
- community meetings
Room for 650 covers most community and member meetings.
