Festival City in a Box - A Program for Meeting and Event Planners

So we’ve created the award winning Edmonton Festival City in a Box to give you

a sampling, a hearty tidbit, of the more than 30 festivals we unleash each year.

Edmonton Festival City in a Box is a unique, eye-opening experience integrating festival

theming with keynote speakers, breakout sessions, décor and the Edmonton Festival

City Road Show all designed to entertain and surprise your guests. The show can be

customized with various performances for a run-time of 30- to 60-minutes based on

your requirements. We can create a festival showcase for you, or you may want to

flex your own creative muscles. Customize your own Edmonton Festival City in a Box

experience using some of our existing tools.

When you host your next conference, meeting or event in Edmonton, you

choose how to add that ‘je ne sais quoi’, that ‘thing’ that puts the ‘show’

in your event or conference. A great way to accomplish this is to play host

to Edmonton’s Festival City in a Box performance. We’ll custom design

a presentation with dancers, actors, comedians and more to fit your

company’s culture. Contact us and let’s get the creative ideas flowing.
