The BMO Centre is a convention centre in Calgary, Alberta. It is located in Stampede Park, which is in the Beltline district south of downtown Calgary. At one million square feet (93,000 m2), it is the largest convention centre in the city and the largest in Western Canada.
Opened in 1981, it was originally known as the Round-up Centre. The facility was expanded in 2000 to include a new ballroom and exhibit hall and again in 2009 with new meeting rooms and exhibit hall.
In March 2016, the Calgary Stampede organization announced plans to demolish the adjacent Stampede Corral to make way for a $500 million expansion of the BMO Centre. Construction began in April 2021 and was completed in March 2024. The 565,000 sq ft (52,500 m2) expansion officially opened on June 5, 2024.
