A greater way to gather

For over 100 years, the Calgary Stampede has welcomed millions of guests from around the world, extending our western hospitality during our world-renowned events. Since 1982, the BMO Centre at Stampede Park has been at the heart of many of those gatherings, bringing guests together for consumer and trade shows, special events, meetings and conventions.

Opening in 2024, the expansion of the BMO Centre promises to make gatherings even greater. At over 1 million square feet, the BMO Centre will be the largest convention centre in western Canada. An anchor to the new and vibrant Culture and Entertainment District, guests will be welcomed with our western hospitality and Stampede spirit, in one of the most energetic convention areas in North America.

Purposefully designed to create authentic connections between guests, the BMO Centre sets a new standard for what a modern convention centre should be: interior spaces will be ample and adaptable; meeting rooms will be wired for instant connectivity; flexible breakout areas will invite creativity and spur serendipitous moments between guests; and outdoor spaces will invite attendees to experience the natural surroundings and diverse amenities of the surrounding area.

The BMO Centre is capable of transforming itself to deliver distinctive experiences for your guests that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. Experience something west of ordinary and connect with our Sales team to learn more.
