About this venue
Edmonton Convention Centre is a distinctive convention venue built into the hillside above the North Saskatchewan River Valley, featuring a spacious glass atrium with views across the river landscape. The centre offers more than 150,000 square feet of flexible space for conventions, conferences, exhibitions, banquets, concerts and other large events. Its combined exhibition halls provide around 80,000 square feet of space, with the largest configuration accommodating more than 5,000 visitors.
Inside, the venue is designed to adapt to events ranging from smaller meetings to major productions. Visitors benefit from modern audiovisual capabilities, accessible facilities and on-site catering, while the open atrium gives the building a distinctive sense of space and natural light.
The centre is located at 9797 Jasper Ave, Edmonton, Canada. The main entrance is accessible from Jasper Avenue, where a passenger drop-off zone is available, while the underground Canada Place parkade is connected to the venue by an enclosed pedestrian walkway. Central LRT station is the closest rail stop and also provides underground pedestrian access toward the centre.

About the city
Edmonton, the capital of Alberta, is far more than an administrative hub—it’s a city fueled by crowd energy and big moments. With a strong entertainment and sports scene, visitors can easily tap into that “major event” atmosphere, whether they’re chasing a top concert experience or an intense night of sport. A lively downtown, modern urban districts, and a well-developed mix of dining and accommodation make arriving simple and staying comfortable and relaxed.
One of Edmonton’s biggest advantages is its practical infrastructure and clear connections to key areas. Local public transport, Edmonton Transit Service (ETS), runs an extensive bus network alongside the LRT, making it easy to reach major venues quickly and without hassle—including Rogers Place and Commonwealth Stadium. Whether you fly into YEG Edmonton International Airport or arrive by train at Edmonton VIA Rail Station, the city offers straightforward routes toward the core and event locations, while drivers benefit from an easy-to-navigate road network around the metro area.
Before or after the show, Edmonton rewards curiosity. Stroll through the expansive River Valley parks along the North Saskatchewan River, explore the character of Old Strathcona and the buzz of Whyte Avenue, or linger downtown at Churchill Square for culture and the city’s pulse. Paired with local dining, a vibrant craft scene, and a welcoming feel, Edmonton quickly becomes a destination you’ll want to revisit—not only for tickets, but for the city experience as a whole.
