Exhibiting at EXPO-SCÈNE
Held in the beautiful city of Montréal QC since 2015, EXPO-SCÈNE is your first choice for meeting and networking with the entertainment technology industry in Canada. This annual event welcomes attendees from all parts of North America and beyond in a dynamic mix of emerging and seasoned professionals from various sectors of the entertainment industry, government, education and institutions, most of whom are responsible for purchasing and decision making (see 2023 Data & Statistics + 2024 Data & Statistics).
Each year, EXPO-SCÈNE exhibitors share the floor with industry-leading companies and top brands in theatre, stagecraft, lighting, sound, AV, multimedia, and more. Visitors from all over the country attend the show to discover and experiment with the latest technology on the market, to meet with world-renowned brands and trusted companies, and to take advantage of the many professional development opportunities the show offers. We also believe it's about the unique, warm and friendly atmosphere of EXPO-SCÈNE!
Why Exhibit?

→ Expand your reach in the Canadian market and grow your business.
→ Tap into the very active Quebec market and secure new local buyers.

Warning: Phishing attempts + Scams
Scam/phishing companies are a very real global problem, targeting both past and present exhibitors at trade shows around the world.
These scams target exhibitors to sign up for show guide/directory services, hotel room reservations, or to sell attendee lists/email information on behalf of the event. They have also been known to impersonate EXPO-SCÈNE employees, claiming that you need to make changes to your contract or asking for payment details. These scam companies are NOT affiliated with CITT/ICTS or EXPO-SCÈNE, and you risk being forced to pay significant sums of money if you sign up for any of these services. Our advice is to IGNORE THEM COMPLETELY and do not communicate with them in any way. If you need to keep and send any kind of proof, please take a screenshot. Please see below for more information.
We thank you for your trust and collaboration. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns.
FRAUDULENT CALLS
Fraudulent phone calls have been made on behalf of EXPO-SCENE by a company based in the United States. These scammers are contacting EXPO-SCENE exhibitors by phone, pretending to be a member of our team or a supplier, and claiming to need to make changes to their contract.
We urge you to ignore these calls, block the numbers and notify us as soon as possible. The same caution should be applied to any suspicious e-mail you receive in the name of EXPO-SCENE asking you to make a payment, change your contract, buy lists of participants, or any other phishing attempt.
Only the EXPO-SCENE team and our official service providers and media partners - listed below and in the Exhibitor Manual - are authorized to contact you regarding the show:
- Official EXPO-SCÈNE team: Monique Corbeil, Joel Décarie, Marie-Laure Leclerc, Jacquie Lazar.
- Official EXPO-SCÈNE service providers: Palais des congrès de Montréal, GES, Inscript, ConsulExpo, Maestro Culinaire.
- Partner Hotels: Hotel InterContinental Montréal, Holiday Inn Montréal Downtown, Hampton Inn by Hilton Montreal, Hotel Monville.

HOTEL POACHERS - Emails and phone calls

Be especially careful if you receive emails or calls from:
- Conventioneers <Hotels@conventioneers.us> with the following subject line such as 'Subject: EXPO-SCÈNE 2025 - Canada's Leading Entertainment Technology Show'.
- A group named Global Travel Experts asking for head count numbers for accommodations or offering to help you book your stay for EXPO-SCÈNE.
There are many more around the world. We consider these to be SCAM - please do not click on any links, reply or forward these messages/calls. If you need to keep and send any kind of proof, please take a screenshot. We also recommend that you block the sender's email address or phone number and mark it as spam.
SCAM EMAILS OFFERING ATTENDEE LISTS
If you receive emails offering visitor lists for purchase to our events EXPO-SCÈNE or Rendez-vous Annual Conference and Trade Show, please ignore them. These offers are fraudulent. These scammers do not have any relationship with CITT/ICTS or with our events and they do NOT have the data they are attempting to sell.
