When is the event?

What is the exact location of the venue?

The new BMO Centre is located within the Calgary Stampede grounds.

The new BMO Centre is the largest convention centre in Western Canada, boasting over 1 million square feet of space.

​

Located between two CTrain stations, Erlton and Victoria Park, Stampede Park can be accessed by regular CTrain and bus service. Skip the ticket vending machine line-ups and save time purchasing fares by buying your pass on My Fare, Calgary Transit's mobile ticketing app. You can download the app any time and buy your pass right when you need it.

Is parking free?

Parking at the Stampede is available year round for $15 payable in cash, Debit, Visa, Mastercard or American Express. 

 

The Calgary Stampede is a not-for-profit organization that reinvests parking fees and other revenue back into park development and operations. â€‹

What is the dress code?

Leave your suits at home and go for something relaxed but confident. Think business casual meets creativity: smart, comfortable attire that’s ready to move from keynotes to activations with ease. Jeans, blazers, and bold prints are welcome. Sneakers over stilettos, and if you feel like throwing on some bright colors to match the energy of the summit, even better! This is your chance to disrupt the norm, so wear something that lets you be you.

Is there food available on-site?

Absolutely! We've got you covered with a variety of delicious food options available for purchase on-site. Whether you're craving something light or ready for a full meal, the BMO will be serving up grab-and-go food throughout the day.

Will there be breakfast?

Our program kicks off bright and early, and while there will be food options available for purchase on-site there will be lots of delegates with the same idea at the same time. Starting your day with a solid meal ensures you’re fueled up and ready to go when the action begins - we highly recommend grabbing breakfast before you arrive!

Will there be drinks?

Hydration is key! Complimentary water stations will be available to keep you refreshed. Please bring your favourite water bottle with you - extra points for decorating it with UNITE stickers. And if you need a caffeine boost, we've got free coffee brewing all day long.
