What Showstream Technology Inc. does

Showstream Technology Inc. is a Canadian-owned, Vancouver-headquartered boutique full-service audio-visual event production company with over 15 years of operating experience. The firm designs and delivers live, virtual, and hybrid events for federal and provincial government agencies, large enterprises, nonprofit/association clients, and live entertainment producers, with named engagements spanning Indigenous Services Canada, the Municipal Pension Plan, Johnson & Johnson, Aritzia, Arc'teryx, and Music BC. Its core offerings include staging, lighting, and audio reinforcement for concerts and festivals (using D&B, QSC, and EV systems), full-service A/V production for conferences and AGMs, 4K HD video production, and a multi-language interpretation and accessibility practice covering ASL/LSQ, English/French CART captioning, Indigenous interpreters, and transcription services.

The company's technology backbone is built on vMix-based live video switching, 4K HD camera equipment, and a partnership with Behuman.online, a Canadian-based virtual event platform that supports 1,000 to 100,000 attendees with registration, built-in breakout rooms, engagement analytics, and API integrations with Eventbrite, Ticketmaster, Slido, Cvent, and Hawk Solutions. All data on the platform is hosted on Canadian servers, which is a deliberate procurement and compliance lever for government and privacy-sensitive clients. The platform is layered with accessibility services through Ad Astra HOH Services and event-management partnerships such as Naut'sa mawt Event Management for large hybrid conferences.

Showstream operates a project-based, quote-driven professional services model with a sales-led and event-driven go-to-market, supplemented by an emerging recurring component through the virtual event platform subscription/usage-based offering. The company is privately held, founder-owned (CEO Liam Montgomery, with Jimmy Leitch leading business development and Jarod MacDonald as Lead Technician), and operates across British Columbia, Western Canada, and nationally across Canada, with international audience reach enabled through its virtual platform and recurring livestream clients.
