If calgary can land destination conferences, where people fly or drive in, then it's easy to see the FT jobs and boom to the local economy.
Calgary is also a fairly easy sell as a destination conference, thanks to the mountains and relatively low-cost of hotels.
It's a no-brainer for a lot of people to get a direct flight to Calgary, go to a conference in a compact central area with lots of (relatively cheap) hotels, then when it's over go to Banff/Lake Louise for a few days.
