Welcome to Calgary! This guide is a quick, attendee-friendly guide to help you make the most of your time before, between, and after sessions while staying at The Westin Calgary (Downtown) or nearby hotels. You’ll find short, realistic options that fit the conference schedule—morning walks, lunch-break ideas, evening plans, and a few “signature Calgary” stops by short rideshare—plus tips on what to expect, what to bring, and where to capture the best photos.

Calgary is a vibrant, welcoming city in Alberta, located where the Canadian Prairies meet the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Known for its sunny skies, friendly downtown core, and beautiful river pathways, Calgary offers an easy mix of urban highlights (restaurants, shopping, skyline viewpoints) and nature moments (parks and riverside walks) just steps from the conference area. In mid‑June, expect comfortable days with cooler mornings and evenings—perfect for short walks, outdoor photos, and relaxed post-program exploring.
