Frequently Asked Questions
Planners
How can I reserve space?
First, you need to outline your event needs and relay them to the Edmonton EXPO Centre Sales Department. Please visit our Inquire Now page. Or you can contact the Edmonton EXPO Centre Sales Department at 780.471.7380 and ask to speak with someone directly.
If the appropriate space and dates are available, you may request to have a tentative hold placed. Your Sales representative will explain your tentative hold timelines. Within a reasonable time frame, you must contact us to confirm your intent to book the space or the tentative hold will be removed. Once your confirmation is received, your event is considered booked and a License Agreement will be sent to you for review and signature. The license will outline the exhibit hall(s), conference and meeting space that you require over the dates as well as a payment schedule.
Note: Short term bookings will require a more condensed time frame.
The License Agreement and noted deposit must be returned within the scheduled time frame. If the License Agreement is not returned within the time specified, the space and dates may be released.
Once the License Agreement and deposit are received, your hold becomes a confirmed booking and your space and dates are held on a contracted basis. You will then be assigned a Client Services Manager to assist with your onsite management.
