Calgary Telus Convention Centre

Calgary Telus Convention Centre (CTCC) is a convention centre in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Opened in 1974 as the Calgary Convention Centre, it is operated by the Calgary Convention Centre Authority on behalf of the City of Calgary. The facility offers 122,000 square feet of convention space, over 47,000 square feet of exhibit space, five pre-function areas and 36 meeting rooms.

In December 1996, the facility was renamed as Calgary Telus Convention Centre due to a naming rights agreement with Telus.[1] In 2000, it was expanded with the addition of the north building.[3]

Facilities

[edit]

The main level of the north building has seven meeting rooms adjacent to a large pre-function area and two meeting rooms with a semi-private pre-function area. The upper level contains the exhibit hall.[4][2]

The lower level of the south building houses Macleod Hall, four meeting rooms and a large pre-function area. The Ideation Centre, consisting of four meeting rooms with a pre-function area, occupies the main floor, while the upper level houses nine meeting rooms.[5][2]
