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.

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.
