The Palais des congrès de Montréal and Showcare join forces to drive event innovation and association growth

MONTRÉAL, March 16, 2022 /CNW Telbec/ - The Palais des congrès de Montréal, an established hub of creativity in the innovation ecosystem, is proud to be breaking new grounds in announcing a new partnership with Showcare, event services and technology experts. By partnering with Showcare and its ultimate year-round engagement platform, the goal is to offer event organizers turnkey technological solutions for the development, production and broadcasting of outstanding virtual and hybrid events.

Through their extensive knowledge and services, Showcare pushes the boundaries of the digital world far beyond the walls of the iconic Palais des congrès de Montréal, offering endless possibilities for organizations to take their events to the next level. 

This is the first of more partnerships to be announced, part of a rigorous call for tenders. As the event industry emerges from almost two years of disruption, the Palais des congrès de Montréal is hard at work lining up the next wave of event solutions. In doing so, it is assembling a team of forward-looking partners capable of hosting and producing hybrid events using the latest market innovations.  

Unique creative potential

Now that hybrid technology has become an essential part of the industry, this partnership will seek to equip associations with the support of seasoned event experts and a virtual environment scaled to their unique needs. It unlocks a distinctive potential for organizations to create synergistic hybrid experiences for their membership and communities.

Empowered by the technology and collective expertise of the Palais and Showcare, clients will learn how to create new revenue streams, maximize and extend community engagement, but also continue on a trajectory of growth long into the future.
