Explore Edmonton Co. is a destination marketing organization in Edmonton, Alberta. It is involved in promoting Edmonton tourism, operating two of the city's event facilities—the Edmonton Convention Centre and the Edmonton Expo Centre,[5] and serving as the organizer of the annual exhibitions K-Days and Farmfair International.
It was formerly known as the Edmonton Economic Development Corporation (EEDC), and additionally acted as an economic development agency for the city. In 2019, Edmonton's city council voted in favour of splitting its economic development activities into a new innovation authority (which would be known as Innovate Edmonton).
