Where is Upper Bound?

Upper Bound takes place in Edmonton, Alberta, one of Canada’s AI hubs. Edmonton is also home to Amii, which produces Upper Bound, and which is proud to be one of Canada’s three National AI institutes. The conference venue is the Edmonton Convention Centre in downtown Edmonton, nestled in our world-famous North Saskatchewan River Valley. Beyond the conference centre, you’ll discover a young, vibrant metropolis with a booming culinary scene, the largest urban park in North America, and a community that welcomes big thinkers.
