Partnerships and Events

Building Destination-Defining Experiences

EDMH collaborates with partners across sports, music, culture, and business to attract events that deliver measurable hotel impact. Every partnership is evaluated based on alignment, ROI, and Edmonton’s long-term tourism potential.

Major Strategic Partners and Collaborations

Event Support

Our event support focuses on opportunities that create meaningful impact for our member hotels and for Edmonton’s broader visitor economy.

We prioritize events that generate significant hotel demand, align with the city’s tourism strategy, and strengthen Edmonton’s competitiveness among Canadian destinations.

Each opportunity is evaluated for its potential to drive room nights, elevate Edmonton’s profile, and create co-marketing or co-development value in partnership with organizers.
