BOUCHERCON CALGARY CONVENTION

ABOUT bouchercon calgary convention


We are excited to welcome Bouchercon to Calgary, Canada, in 2026.


Calgary is a city on the edge of discovery, familiar yet largely unexplored. From its vibrant downtown to the charming character of its neighbourhoods, Calgary is filled with secrets, surprises, and stories that Calgarians are eager to share with the world. Known for its warm western hospitality, Calgary takes pride in being the Ultimate Host City. With one of the world's most modern and welcoming airports, top-notch accommodations and venues, a thriving culinary and arts scene, and a diverse array of attractions and activities for every type of visitor, Calgary promises a remarkable experience from arrival to departure.


Alberta is blessed with tremendous natural beauty, including the majestic Canadian Rockies to the west, the dinosaur era with hoodoos and dinosaur bones to the east, and rich Indigenous roots and culture to the south and north. Of course, Calgary offers outstanding experiences, including the world-renowned Calgary Zoo, Heritage Park, Studio Bell, an unparalleled culinary scene, and The Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth - the Calgary Stampede.


We have created the best of Calgary and Alberta pre- and post-tours, so plan to arrive early and stay late. Trips are offered in every direction, with spectacular scenery around us. We promise to spoil you with our famous Western hospitality. With so many itineraries, we are confident they will match your travel plans for the event.
