www.wcc.mb.ca @RBCConvCtreWpg Beautiful sunshine, bright blue skies and dazzling prairie sunsets stream through the windows of the RBC Convention Centre, creating a warm and inviting environment for convention delegates and event attendees. Known as Manitoba's premier convention venue, the three level 264,000 sq. ft. multi-purpose facility is more than just conferences and tradeshows. It's home to diverse events like dance competitions, sporting events, multicultural celebrations, home and garden shows, fishing and boat shows, wellness expos and so much more. "We are the fourth largest publicly owned convention centre in Canada and are attracting larger conventions, trade shows and other events that may not have considered Winnipeg as an option before," said David Chizda, director of sales and business development . "Our flexibility allows us to transform our space into a football field with spectator seating one week; an international pow wow the next; a gala dinner for 2,300 one night followed by a car show or tradeshow. Our unique and distinct meeting spaces can accommodate a variety of events from international, national and regional events and conventions with 9 to 9,000 participants." "Whether it's an intimate meeting or a sit-down dinner, our Executive Chef and his award-winning culinary team works with our creative, experienced and professional staff to make any size event a memorable one", adds Chizda. "Our guests enjoy the luxury of fast and free WI-FI throughout our entire building as well as the convenience of being located within walking distance to more than 2,600 hotel rooms and some of the city's best restaurants and attractions in downtown Winnipeg," If you've visited the RBC Convention Centre recently you'll notice some beautiful changes and additions.
