Join us at Rendez-vous Canada 2027 in Calgary!

Following a successful 48th edition in Edmonton in 2024, which welcomed more than 350 international buyers from 29 countries and generated more than 4,000 room nights, Calgary will continue the momentum, once again bringing the world to Alberta.

“Rendez-vous Canada 2027 in Calgary will be a defining moment to showcase Alberta on the global stage, connecting international buyers with the experiences that set us apart,” said David Goldstein, President and Chief Executive Officer, Travel Alberta. “Through this signature event, we will bring Canada’s Wild Side to life, driving new business, strengthening global partnerships and delivering lasting impact for our visitor economy and communities across the province.”

As Calgary continues to strengthen its position as a world-class host city, it is entering a new era of bold investment and transformative infrastructure, including a wave of new and revitalized hotels, a reimagined arts and culture corridor and a state-of-the-art arena at the heart of the Culture & Entertainment District.

“Calgary is in its most exciting chapter yet, with investments that are redefining Canada’s Blue Sky City and we’re thrilled to be welcoming Rendez-vous Canada for such an important milestone year,” said Alisha Reynolds, President and CEO, Tourism Calgary. “With easy access to five UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Rockies, Calgary is becoming more connected, vibrant, and welcoming than ever before, promising a truly inspiring experience for global partners and buyers.”

“For 50 years, Rendez-vous Canada has helped bring Canadian tourism businesses and destinations into conversation with the world — opening doors to new travellers, new markets and new possibilities,” said Sébastien Benedict, President and CEO of the Tourism Industry Association of Canada.“ As we mark this milestone in Calgary, we are reminded that tourism is not only one of Canada’s most dynamic sectors, but also one of its great investment opportunities, creating the capacity, jobs and long-term value needed to meet growing global demand.”
