Conference Dinner

Located at Hotel Arts, 119 12 Ave SW
Easily accessible by Uber, Taxi, or transit (C-Train)
Catch the C-train at University Station, located on the East end of campus, to the eastbound station at 3 St SW. It is then a 10-minute walk to Hotel Arts.
To return, catch a Westbound train at 1 St SW to University Station.
Note: there are two lines, Red (201) and Blue (202). The University is served by the Red Line. In the downtown core, the stations alternate between east and westbound, so you will arrive and depart from a different block.

Calgary is generally a very safe city. But drug use and crime can be more common on the train and in the downtown core. We recommend using common sense and travelling with a group.

Registration Desk:
