Wait Staff 2

About Us

We are Edmonton’s Destination Management and Marketing Organization (DMMO). We also manage two of Edmonton’s award-winning venues, the Edmonton Convention Centre and the Edmonton EXPO Centre. We help tell Edmonton’s story, elevate the Edmonton experience, and drive inbound visitation and economic impact in the visitor economy.

Working together in a one-team approach aligned by our core values, Explore Edmonton’s business units market and sell Edmonton as a year-round destination to visit, work, and play in while also developing products and experiences that have a uniquely Edmonton flavour. And by incorporating the management of the city’s two award-winning venues into Explore Edmonton, we are uniquely positioned to attract major events, meetings, and conventions to our city, generating greater economic impact. While Explore Edmonton’s mandate is focused on generating inbound visitation, what we do and how we do it also enhances and amplifies the quality of life for Edmontonians. The people who live here are our greatest ambassadors, so making it easier for them to love our city makes it easier for us to sell it.

We elevate Edmonton as a conference and convention destination through our culinary excellence and by delivering outstanding guest experiences, while upholding the health and safety of our guests and employees. Built into the foundation of the Edmonton River Valley, our venue is a community asset and a reflection of Edmonton, generating great economic impact and social benefits through a sustainable approach. Home to Canada’s largest building-integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) system, our iconic multi-levelled atrium sloping down the river valley is now a landmark of sustainability. The Edmonton Convention Centre is a business segment of Explore Edmonton; Edmonton’s Destination Management, Marketing and Venue Management Organization.
