WELCOME TO THE LARGEST CONFERENCE HOTEL IN EDMONTON
Formerly known as the Ramada Hotel & Conference Centre, this newly rebranded hotel is iconically Edmonton. Rich in history, the Edmonton Inn was a landmark in Edmonton as one of the premiere hotels and destinations for travelers and locals alike. With restoring the brand back to its original name and with major renovation plans, the Edmonton Inn will once again be on the tip of everyones’ tongues.
Ideal for business or leisure travel, the Edmonton Inn & Conference Centre is conveniently located just five minutes from downtown Edmonton, offers 260 spacious rooms and suites, and is Edmonton’s largest meeting and conference space. The Edmonton Inn is in the center of it all – just minutes from both Kingsway Mall and Rogers Place. Enjoy our range of amenities from our Graze Restaurant and Arbour Lounge to our fitness centre and more.
Friday April 5th Noon - 7PM Set Up Only
Our volunteers will be setting up your tables all day Friday, from 10 AM on. If would like to show up early and help them, that is greatly appreciated but not required. Please show patience and grace with all our volunteers, they will be working hard to keep the show running smoothly for everyone. Remember that antique shows are supposed to be a fun experience, not a stressful one.
We will have security overnight, but as a rule, don’t leave anything valuable or easy to steal in your booth visible. Theft is a common occurence nowadays and protect yourselves wisely. A good strategy is to lock up items in big bins with a padlock.
