Welcoming the World
As Stampede Park and the city of Calgary have transformed into a first-class international destination for events, meetings and celebration, our focus turns to the important and inspiring goal of welcoming the world. We continue to showcase Western hospitality and community spirit as the world comes to Calgary, and provide the world-class infrastructure, positioning Calgary and Stampede Park as a sought-after and unique world-class destination.
The BMO Centre at Stampede Park
The expanded BMO Centre at Stampede Park celebrated its grand opening on June 5, 2024. After decades of planning and four years of construction, the expanded BMO Centre is now a premier destination for global conventions, meetings and events.
The BMO Centre redefines large-scale event hosting with over 1 million sq. ft. of versatile space, making it the largest convention centre in Western Canada. Located in Calgary's vibrant Culture + Entertainment District, this premier venue offers state-of-the-art facilities, infused with genuine Western hospitality and the iconic Stampede spirit. Whether hosting international conferences, trade shows, or special events, the BMO Centre is at the heart of one of North America's most dynamic convention destinations.

Autograph Collection Hotel on Stampede Park
On Monday, June 2, 2025, the Calgary Stampede, alongside our partners at the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation, announced Truman as the development partner for the first hotel on Stampede Park - a Mariott Autograph Collection hotel. On Friday, Jan. 9, 2026, the construction of the hotel began during an official groundbreaking event.
Located on an approximately 85,000 sq. ft. parcel, the Autograph Collection hotel will be a full-service, 13-storey upper-upscale lifestyle boutique hotel. This hotel will allow visitors to stay steps away from the action of the Culture + Entertainment District – whether it’s a convention, meeting or event held in the BMO Centre, a hockey game in Scotia Place, a concert in The Big Four Roadhouse, our annual celebration of Western heritage and community spirit each July.
Corona Skydeck
In preparation for Stampede 2026, the Calgary Stampede is building an all-new North Infield Expansion, the Corona Skydeck - a four-level venue including a rooftop that will redefine the way guests experience the Calgary Stampede.
Ground was broken on the project in October 2025, marking an important milestone in the continued enhancement of our venue infrastructure.
Designed to overlook the Rodeo, Rangeland Derby presented by Play Alberta, and Relay Races, this elevated hospitality space will offer signature premium-seating service, a vibrant bar, and an unmatched atmosphere.
