VENUE & LODGING
Location
Banff, Alberta
Nestled high in the Canadian Rockies, the town of Banff is located within the Banff National Park. Once “Siding 29” on the Canadian Pacific Railway, the town of Banff was intended to be a tourist town from its very inception. The park’s first superintendent, George Stewart, even oriented the town’s first street so that it offered the best possible view of Cascade Mountain.
The town site covers 3.93 square kilometres (1.52 square miles) and is at an elevation of 1,383 metres (4,537 feet), making it the highest town in Canada. Banff is flanked on all sides by towering mountains, including Mount Rundle, Sulphur Mountain, Mount Norquay, and Cascade Mountain.

Venue
Banff Park Lodge
Nestled in the Town of Banff, just steps away from the Bow River, the Banff Park Lodge is a full-service resort hotel and conference centre. Visitors experience the peace and tranquility of a quiet location, yet are walking distance from downtown Banff’s vast array of shops, restaurants, outdoor activities and cultural events.
