Ottawa, ON, March 24, 2022 — Sport Tourism Canada and Edmonton Events are pleased to announce that Sport Events Congress 2022 will be held November 2-3-4, 2022 in Edmonton!
SEC22 promises to be everything that attendees know and love about Congress – interactive, educational, opportunities for business-to-business networking, evening social events (including an Edmonton Oilers NHL match-up at Rogers Place), and plenty of fun! View the preliminary schedule here.
As the leader of the $7.4 billion sport tourism sector, Sport Tourism Canada has staged Sport Events Congress since 2001. It draws together all segments of Canada’s sport tourism industry leaders including destination tourism professionals, sport events rights holders, event management firms, hoteliers, the education sector and elected officials.
Since the pandemic has significantly altered sport hosting in Canada, SEC22 programming will focus on recovery and supporting the sport tourism industry to bounce back. All of the recommended local health protocols will be in place, along with some extra safety measures that Sport Tourism Canada believes are necessary to keep all delegates safe.
Early bird registration will remain open until March 31st.
Questions about registration: please contact the SEC22 Registration Manager, Heather Harcott at hharcott@sporttourismcanada.com.
