Welcome to The Banff Centre

This is an amazing place. Whether you are visiting us virtually or in person, prepare to be inspired.

Creativity is activated at The Banff Centre every day. Leaders are shaped here. Big thoughts are conjured and cultivated. Innovation is sparked. Transformation abounds.

Since 1933, creative thinkers and thought leaders have come to Banff to develop new works, to incubate new ideas, and to further their professional and personal development. Business and community leaders have gathered here to investigate new business practices, to explore social innovation, and to expand their leadership skills.

As we meet the challenges of the 21st century, The Banff Centre will build upon this proud legacy, with a renewed focus on the incubation of new art and ideas, and the exploration of shared best practices across disciplines. We will examine the opportunities that digital media provides to enhance access to art, innovation, and leadership. And we will continue to provide exceptional services and facilities to all our guests.

I invite you to explore The Banff Centre, and discover for yourself why we are Canada’s leader in arts, creativity, and innovation.
