The Palais des congrès de Montréal will be hosting the Montreal International Auto Show January 17 to 26, 2020. The popular consumer show is expected to draw around 200,000 visitors. The Auto Show and carmakers will be present on social media, thanks to Montréal firm Livescale, which will live stream and simultaneously webcast key moments of the 77th edition of the Show, including one of the highlights of the event, Media Day, for a Canadian first. This will render the Show more accessible than ever, as the new technology will make it possible for automotive enthusiasts worldwide to virtually attend unveilings of new models, and to also express their interest in said models using a prospect generating feature available only in America.
It should be noted that Livescale’s offices are located inside the Palais des congrès, which enables the firm to deliver its services flexibly and reliably.
Livescale is among the Québec startups whose services are offered by the Palais through CITÉ, its Events Lab. The purpose of this group of startups created by and housed inside the Palais is to find innovative solutions for the current and future needs of event organizers, while also serving as an international showcase for local entrepreneurs. It is an initiative that is at the heart of the Palais des congrès of tomorrow, and one that also helps drive Montréal’s brand as a global leader in the world of events.
This first-ever live streaming and webcasting with Livescale and the Montreal International Auto Show is a source of pride for the Palais and something that’s never been done before. We are thrilled about bringing the biggest consumer show in Québec to various platforms in real time. This initiative enables us to promote the city’s startups and stay competitive in the events market.
