EXPO-SCÈNE 2027: Save the Date for Canada’s Leading Entertainment Technology Show

April 7–8, 2027 | Palais des congrès de Montréal

Two Days of Innovation, Connection and Discovery

EXPO-SCÈNE returns to Montréal on April 7–8, 2027, bringing together the people, technologies and ideas shaping the future of live entertainment. Produced by the Canadian Institute for Theatre Technology (CITT/ICTS), this annual gathering is Canada’s only trade show dedicated to stage, audiovisual and event technologies, welcoming professionals from across North America and beyond.

Each year, technicians, designers, integrators, technical directors, buyers, students and other industry professionals come together to discover the latest innovations, explore new solutions and connect with leading manufacturers and suppliers. Representing sectors such as theatre, concerts, touring, festivals, audiovisual integration and live events, attendees share a common interest in the technologies and expertise that bring experiences to life.

More than a showcase for the latest equipment, EXPO-SCÈNE is valued for its welcoming atmosphere, meaningful conversations and opportunities to build lasting professional relationships. It is where established industry leaders meet emerging talent, new ideas take shape and the Canadian entertainment technology sector comes together.

Discover the Latest Technologies and Learn from Industry Experts

Building on the strong turn-out of the previous edition, EXPO-SCÈNE 2027 promises another exciting opportunity to discover the latest innovations, connect with industry leaders and explore emerging technologies. From professional audio, lighting, video, staging, rigging, special effects, systems integration and AV solutions, the show will bring together the products, expertise and people shaping the future of entertainment technology. 

"We're excited to bring the industry together once again in Montréal for another inspiring edition. The enthusiasm we're already seeing from exhibitors and visitors speaks to the value of this event and the strength of our community," says Jacquie Lazar, Executive Director of CITT/ICTS. "This is also why we decided to expand the trade show floor in 2028, which will mark an exciting new chapter for us. Until then, we are fully committed to the upcoming edition, shaping up to be another exceptional opportunity to discover new technologies and build relationships with international exhibitors and attendees on Canadian soil. We look forward to welcoming everyone in April 2027. "

Visitors can anticipate fresh discoveries, valuable connections, and the welcoming atmosphere that makes EXPO-SCÈNE an essential event for the industry.

Beyond the trade show floor, EXPO-SCÈNE offers a range of opportunities to learn, explore and develop new skills. Visitors can experience selected technologies up close in the Demo Rooms, gain insights from exhibitors through the TEC Talks educational series and take part in hands-on Pro Training sessions designed to expand their knowledge and skills using the latest industry equipment.
