You don’t have to attend the AFP COMPASS 2026  to be part of the celebration.

Pull on your boots and join us for the official After Party—Boot, Scoot and Schmoozin’—where the doors are open, the music’s playing, and the welcome is as warm as a prairie sunset. This is your chance to network with colleagues, meet new faces in the sector, and tap into the spirit of COMPASS 2026 without missing out.

Kick up your heels with line dancing led by Line Dance Stampede, swap stories over great company, and enjoy live music from one of Calgary’s own – Kyle McKearney. 

Hearty western-inspired bites will be available for purchase from Ranchman’s menu, along with a cash bar pouring cold drinks throughout the evening. Whether you’re here to make connections or just to take a spin on the dance floor, you’ll feel right at home.

So come on down, grab your boots, and join the Boot, Scoot and Schmoozin’ fun — where the music’s hot, the company’s lively, and the good times roll all night – well, until 9 o’clock! 

This event is generously sponsored by Craig Senyk Initiatives, the Discovery Group and WJ Agency

ABOUT KYLE MCKEARNEY

Kyle McKearney is celebrating his latest recognition, voted Male Artist of the Year at the 15th Annual Country Music Awards in Edmonton, earlier this year. Hot on the heels of one incredible breakthrough year as Canada’s most award-nominated Independent Artist of 2022, with a combined 17x nominations and 5x award wins since the release of his debut album, Down-Home. After winning $75,000 in Alberta Music’s “Project Wild” and being named a semi-finalist in SiriusXM’s “Top of the Country” competition in 2022, Kyle’s profile exploded and he took his momentum to the stage to support names: The Black Crowes, Darius Rucker, Burton Cummings, Kip Moore, Terri Clark, Dean Brody, Serena Ryder, and so many more.  On March 31, 2023, Kyle released his highly anticipated sophomore album, A Traveler’s Lament.
