Customer Feedback

"Our Christmas Party on Saturday was a great success. People loved Alumni House. It was so beautifully set up and decorated. The bonus was the lounge room in the basement with the television for our young fellas. This was the perfect place for us. I want to thank you so much for all the arrangements in making this a special event for Nilex. The parking worked out great and the caterers were terrific!"

"This was an excellent location for a retreat/meeting. Service was excellent, site was great, food excellent and it was more affordable than other options.  I will suggest conference services at Lister Centre for future department functions."

"The new Conference Centre offered by Conference Services at the University of Alberta is outstanding.  The Staff are very knowledgeable and very helpful.  I have been more than satisfied with the service I receive when booking the U of A Conference Centre, they always go out of their way to accommodate the needs of our bookings.  The service and facilities are outstanding and I will continue to recommend and use the U of A Conference Centre at Lister Centre."

"As the organizer for a variety of meetings and workshops, I am always looking for the 'best deal' for meeting room rental, catering and accommodation. The SFM Network has used Conference Services for the last couple of years and have been very pleased with all of the services provided. The staff, from initiation and set-up to catering are always friendly, helpful, and ready to assist when requested. Some members of the SFM Network recently had the opportunity to stay on site and were very satisfied with the accommodation noting that it was comfortable and quiet.  The costs are very reasonable for meeting room rental, catering and accommodation and I would definitely consider using these facilities again for future meetings and workshops."

Alison Boddy
Sustainable Forest Management Network

"Our office has held many workshops and conferences at the U of A Conference Centre and we have always been impressed with the quality of service that has been provided. The addition of the guest rooms in the new Conference Centre has made accommodating out of town guests very convenient and affordable, and there is ample parking for conference participants and over-night guests. We will continue to use the U of A Conference Centre on Campus as the number one centre for our workshops and meetings.

"Everyone at the U of A Conference Centre went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly for our conference. From the catering to the guest rooms, everything was perfect."

"Thanks for all your work, help, and advice in organizing our very successful CSTC meeting in July. I have heard nothing but positive feedback from attendees. If, and when, we ever have to organize another conference, we look forward to doing it all again through Conference Services."
