Hybrid events are no longer a trend — they are now a cornerstone of the events industry. In an ideal context, anyone who was interested would attend your in-person meeting. But life presents curveballs, and even after we’ve emerged on the other side of this current pandemic, there will always be a section of your audience unable to be physically present at an event, yet still wanting access to your exceptional content. That’s why venues offering hybrid solutions are more relevant than ever.
These Montréal studios provide a perfect backdrop for hybrid events.
Windsor Ballrooms
The Windsor Ballrooms is an iconic venue located in the heart of Montréal. In collaboration with audio-visual company Productions Eventex, one of their celebrated ballrooms has been converted into a fully functional studio. The studio's sophisticated stage, LED screens, and online platform will impress your remote spectators. Bonus: Windsor Ballrooms offers turnkey solutions for all types of events.
Cirque Éloize
Located in the former Dalhousie Station (a historic building in Old Montréal), the creative studios of Cirque Éloize adapt to all types of events.
