Alberta: Calgary, Edmonton

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.

The dazzling curved Calgary Central Library, which opened in November 2018, hovers over its East Village site like a flag made of translucent glass. A soaring four-story wood-clad atrium centers this masterpiece, which was designed by Snøhetta, an American-Norwegian firm, and Dialog from Canada. The state-of-the-art library offers two meeting spaces and the latest in audiovisual technology. The Patricia A. Whelan Performance Hall has 336 fixed seats but can hold as many as 400 people during day or evening hours, with a 480-square-foot flat stage, wireless presentation devices, a dedicated green room, dressing room, and backstage area. The Shaikh Family Welcome Gallery can accommodate groups of 300 guests under the starry atrium skylight after library hours.

Unlike last year’s outing, which took over the multilevel indoor-outdoor setting of the Palladium, the after-party for ESPN’s ESPY Awards on July 11 was held inside the JW Marriott L.A. Live. To make it feel less like a ballroom, Precision Event Group incorporated videos and still imagery into the design, created a trilevel structure for the bar, installed patterned fabrics on the walls, and placed modern furnishings throughout.
