About us
If you’re unfamiliar with the University of Calgary campus, you can relax knowing that getting to MacEwan Conference & Event Centre is a breeze. With the campus a short LRT ride away from the city centre, the Conference & Event Centre routinely attracts downtown clients looking for a break from the concrete jungle. Our maps will show you exactly how to reach us once you get off at University station. Situated just West of Crowchild Trail, one of Calgary’s north-south arteries, we are just as easy to reach by car or city transit.
