How attendees reach it

8 km (5 mi) to Calgary International Airport (YYC). At that distance the transfer is not a planning problem, which is rarer than it sounds.

At 1.5 km (0.9 mi) from the city centre it is a short ride from downtown hotels rather than a walk.

The published number for the venue is +1 403-205-2922.

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

The seats do not move, which is the whole trade. You get sightlines, acoustics and a lighting rig you would otherwise have to rent, and you give up the ability to put tables in the room. The GRAND is 5th of 16 such houses mapped in Calgary.

  • award ceremonies

    Fixed seating, sightlines and a lighting rig are the hard parts, and they are already here.

  • product launches

    A single-track room with a real stage is the right shape for a launch.

  • multi-track conferences

    Works as a plenary house with breakouts booked elsewhere in the city.
