Yellowknife has a proven record of success in hosting international and national conferences with up to 1,000 participants.
Yellowknife is home to all the amenities of a southern destination including an abundance of hotels and bed and breakfasts that cater to all travellers. Conference delegates will be surrounded by pristine lakes and nature trails which afford opportunities to walk, cycle, paddle or drive as you explore Yellowknife and its colourful history.
Two major hotels in downtown Yellowknife can each seat up to 400 delegates, and each have smaller breakout rooms. The hotels also offer a range of excellent catering facilities for banquets or other needs.
Main access to Yellowknife is via air. Yellowknife's regional airport handles hundreds of flights each month. Air Canada and WestJet offer direct flights to Yellowknife from Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. Any of the Star Alliance or WestJet International airline partners can arrange flights through to Yellowknife.
