Start early, stay later - whatever you choose be sure to extend your meeting and convention experience to take advantage of the tremendous pre- and post-opportunities that Alberta can offer you and your delegates.

Besides a lengthy roster of outdoor adventures - from golfing and skiing to white water rafting and hiking, Alberta is a province of natural wonders. Home of five designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Alberta also has five of Canada's national parks and 66 provincial parks - many of which contain healthy populations of bighorn sheep, mountain goats, elk, bears, bison, even woodland caribou.

Not only will our jaw-dropping adventures ratchet up your pulse but our urban attractions will do the same. Ever clock the heartbeat of a power shopper? Do so, next time you're in the world's largest mall - that'd be West Edmonton Mall - home of 800 shops, spanning 48 city blocks. It's only been matched by someone hurtling down a bobsleigh - at 65 km/h (40 m.p.h.) - at Canada Olympic Park in Calgary. Too fast for you? Then check in to one of our dozens of world-class spas that span Alberta.
