Accomodations & Travel

Welcome to Calgary!
Join your beef industry colleagues in beautiful Calgary, nestled in the Alberta foothills of Canada. Frequently referred to as the “headquarters” of Canada’s beef industry, this safe, clean and vibrant city offers the best of two worlds: a cosmopolitan area with more than one million people and breathtaking outdoor adventure in pristine wilderness.

For more information on what Calgary has to offer, visit the Calgary Convention and Visitors Bureau site at www.tourismcalgary.com.

Enjoy the Hyatt Regency’s Comfort and Convenience Selected as the headquarters hotel, the Hyatt Regency provides world-class amenities in the heart of downtown. Guests can enjoy outstanding services — like the Stillwater Spa, award-winning business venues, sumptuous dining and the city’s largest guest rooms. Out the front door, Stephen Avenue Walk is filled with theatres, shopping and entertainment; and Banff, in the majestic Rocky Mountains, is just one hour away.
