A unique building full of natural light, plants and the relaxing trickle of falling water invigorate as it welcomes conference attendees to the Shaw Conference Centre. A cascading wall of glass frames a breathtaking view of Edmonton’s river valley from the banks of the North Saskatchewan River, showing off a city blessed with fresh, open spaces. Roomy, flexible and column-free meeting and exhibition halls virtually shape themselves to your needs.
Not only is the Shaw Conference Centre an amazing facility with superior service and chefs who have won numerous gold medals in international competitions, but it is also proud to be a green facility. From waste reduction to energy efficiency, innovative waste treatment, unique power solutions, water conservation and the three Rs: Reduce, Reuse and Recycle, the Shaw Conference Centre takes their jobs seriously.
