Time to Transform

Visiting the Roger’s Centre

Situated on the Old Congress Centre site, the Rogers Centre Ottawa breathes new life into Ottawa’s downtown core. A striking redevelopment in 2011 tripled the Rogers Centre Ottawa’s capacity, drawing attention from national and international planners and making it one of the most successful convention centres in the country.

Since 2011, we have proudly hosted thousands of conventions, meetings, and trade shows of varying scales and sizes.

In 2021, the Rogers Centre Ottawa was awarded the International Association of Conference Centres (AIPC) APEX award for the elusive title of “World’s Best Convention Centre”
