About Me

Hello, I'm Danielle Dufrene, Business Development Account Manager with Explore Edmonton. I work with associations, corporations, and event planners to bring impactful meetings, conventions, and incentive programs to Edmonton, Alberta.
Edmonton offers planners a compelling combination of value, accessibility, and memorable experiences. As Canada's Festival City, Edmonton delivers a vibrant year-round events calendar, a walkable downtown convention district, world-class venues including the Edmonton Convention Centre and Rogers Place, and unique experiences ranging from river valley adventures to Indigenous cultural programming. Planners also benefit from competitive pricing, strong destination support, and a collaborative hospitality community dedicated to event success.
At IMEX America, I'm excited to connect with planners looking for a fresh Canadian destination that can maximize budgets without compromising the attendee experience. I'd especially love to discuss Explore Edmonton's Meetings & Conventions Incentive Program, which offers financial support starting at $20 per delegate, helping organizations enhance their event experience while demonstrating even greater value to stakeholders.
Let's connect if you're looking for:
• A cost-competitive North American destination
• Financial incentives starting at $20 per delegate
• Easy access through Edmonton International Airport
• Modern convention and event facilities
• Authentic Canadian and Indigenous experiences
• A destination partner committed to helping your event succeed
