As the urban backbone of Western Canada’s corporate and financial community, Calgary has come to symbolize rapid growth, enhanced quality of life and a future of unlimited horizons. Within this cosmopolitan small town, delegates and patrons will enjoy Calgary’s safe environment, cleanliness and legendary western hospitality. Not to mention the tantalizing array of pre- and post-meeting adventures awaiting you in the spectacular Canadian Rockies, only an hour’s drive from the city’s centre.

The City of Calgary is an exciting business centre and an outstanding meeting and convention destination. As the third-largest city in Canada, Calgary has a lot to offer visitors from around the world. In the downtown alone, you can discover over 1,000 shops, 200 restaurants and 50 entertainment spots. Within the city there are also 8,000 hectares of open space and parkland to explore.

About Calgary

Traditionally, this event is the annual Conference for architects across Canada. This year we are proud to include Interior Designers (IDs). The conference focuses on architects’ and IDs’ contributions to the improvement of today’s world, the built environment, sustainable urban development and social commitment, as well as the importance of design professionals. There will be continuing education courses, social activities, recognition of excellence and the RAIC College of Fellows Convocation. A portion of festival proceeds will be donated to a local charitable organization, at the discretion of the Sponsorship Committe.
