Some of the biggest shows in western Canada happen at the Edmonton Convention Centre, which was renamed in 2019 after 21 years as the Shaw Conference Centre. The downtown building, perched on the south-facing hillside affording views of the sunset and Edmonton’s River Valley, has earned a reputation as a leader in sustainability. Along with composting and recycling, the center keeps an urban beehive and grows its own herbs and vegetables. Currently, the glass panels of the building’s atrium are being replaced with photovoltaic glass units that will convert sunlight into electricity and reduce greenhouse gases. The facility offers 150,000 square feet of exhibit and meeting space. The Assembly Level consists of three exhibit halls totaling 80,000 square feet of space and can accommodate 330 trade show booths. Small or mid-size shows or conventions can take place in the 23,600-square-foot Hall D, which seats 2,000 people theater style or 1,400 for banquets.
