We are Edmonton’s Destination Management and Marketing Organization (DMMO). We also manage two of Edmonton’s award-winning venues, the Edmonton Convention Centre and the Edmonton EXPO Centre.

And by incorporating the management of the city’s two award-winning venues into Explore Edmonton, we are uniquely positioned to attract major events, meetings, and conventions to our city, generating greater economic impact. While Explore Edmonton’s mandate is focused on generating inbound visitation, what we do and how we do it also enhances and amplifies the quality of life for Edmontonians. The people who live here are our greatest ambassadors, so making it easier for them to love our city makes it easier for us to sell it.

There is no better example of our work in the community to connect people to food and farming within the city limits than at the Explore Edmonton Urban Farm, and no better way to show our commitment to the quality of life of Edmontonians than through the events that our team of Community Volunteers support not just for Explore Edmonton, but for our attraction’s partners all around Edmonton, every year.

And, for good measure, we always throw in a healthy dose of entertainment like the new Edmonton Pro Rodeo, the last stop on the road to the Canadian Finals Rodeo.
