The Calgary TELUS Convention Centre (CTCC) is located in central downtown Calgary on pedestrian-friendly Stephen Avenue, comprising connected North and South buildings joined by a +15 skywalk bridge. The venue offers flexible meeting and exhibition space, including its large Exhibition Hall and Macleod Hall, which has hosted events since the centre opened in 1974. The facility is fully wheelchair and stroller accessible and is a GBAC STAR-accredited, Green Key-certified venue. It connects directly to Calgary's +15 Skywalk network — described as the world's largest pedestrian skywalk system — allowing weather-protected access from surrounding hotels and buildings.
The Calgary Parking Authority operates an underground parkade — Lot 60 — at the CTCC, located at 727 1 St SE, with roughly 433 stalls (including accessible stalls).
Parking rates and hours are subject to change — confirm current rates with the Calgary Parking Authority.

By transit: The venue sits about a block off the main C-Train line; the Red and Blue lines serve downtown, with Centre Street Station just behind the centre and 1 Street SW Station across the street. Rideshare, taxi, and airport limo service are also available.
By road: Calgary lies at the junction of the TransCanada Highway (Highway 1) and Highway 2. Note that U.S. citizens will need a passport to enter Canada.
