THANK YOU!

We would like to thank all the delegates, presenters, student volunteers and exhibitors who joined us in Halifax for the 35th edition of our annual conference. We hope that you enjoyed this new Rendez-vous and that it met your expectations! We look forward to seeing you again next year!

Halifax (Kjipuktuk) is located in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaq Wəlastəkwiyik (Maliseet), and Passamaquoddy Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1726.

JOIN US NEXT YEAR!

Ottawa is built on un-ceded and un-surrendered Algonquin Anishinaabe territory. The Peoples of the Algonquin Anishinaabe Nation have lived on this territory for millennia. Their culture and presence have nurtured and continue to nurture this Land.

Further details, including the venue for the conference, will be announced at a later date.

About Rendez-vous

Held in a different Canadian city each year, Rendez-vous brings together emerging and established professionals from across the live performance and events industry for four dynamic days of professional development, networking, and collaboration. The event fosters a welcoming, hands-on learning environment where ideas are exchanged, connections are made, and careers are inspired.

The main program features a wide range of training workshops, educational sessions, roundtables, and panels covering key aspects of live performance production, including technical and production direction, stage management, lighting, sound, video, props, costumes, design, theatre architecture, health and safety, and equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI).

These sessions are complemented by pre-conference training, offering one- and two-day hands-on workshops led by industry leaders, a dynamic trade show featuring products and services for the live production sector, and social activities designed to build community and spark collaboration.
