What TKNL does

TKNL inc. is a privately held Quebec-based event production and immersive experience company operating across four business locations in the Greater Montreal area: Boucherville (headquarters with production planning, warehouses, and workshops), Montreal (immersive experience creation office with ~30 staff), Brossard (TKNL Studios broadcast facility capable of hosting 150+ guests for hybrid events), and a dedicated on-site team at the Palais des congrès de Montréal. The firm operates through four divisions: TKNL Productions delivers turnkey corporate and associative event production (galas, product launches, congresses, brand experiences) in-person, virtual, and hybrid formats worldwide; TKNL Expériences creates immersive visitor experiences such as sound and light shows, museum exhibitions, and recreational tourism attractions; TKNL Studios provides broadcast and film production facilities; and TKNL au Palais des congrès is the official production partner of the Palais des congrès de Montréal, serving national and international congress clients.

The underlying technology stack is centered on audiovisual design, immersive visitor experience design (UX), technological design, content research and production, project management, and orchestration of a talent and partner network. Core capabilities are delivered through owned infrastructure (studios, warehouses, workshops) and a global network of local collaborators and freelancers that allow the firm to mobilize projects internationally, with 15 productions executed abroad to date including large-scale deployments such as the United Nations COP 15 biodiversity conference and the 24th International AIDS Conference.

TKNL generates revenue through professional services fees across custom enterprise projects. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagements are quoted per project. The go-to-market is relationship-based enterprise field sales, anchored by dedicated account managers and producers, supplemented by referrals from the Palais des congrès partnership and a marketing presence via website, LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook. With approximately 120 employees producing ~1,200 events per year and ~45 immersive experiences, the firm serves a diverse client base spanning government, aerospace, sports, NGOs, cultural institutions, and large enterprises.
