For over two decades, Empire AV has been at the heart of some of Toronto’s most unforgettable live experiences.

The full-service audio-visual company has built its reputation on precision, creativity, and trust — values that have made it an essential partner in Billboard Canada’s most celebrated events, including Billboard Canada Women in Music, Power Players and Billboard Canada LIVE.

Every detail audiences remember, from acceptance speeches to performances and cinematic lighting, is powered by Empire AV’s technical excellence and creative vision.

Their work sets the tone for each show. From sound engineering to lighting design and visual production, the team transforms technology into emotion, ensuring every cue, transition and note feels intentional.

Behind the scenes, Empire AV operates with both sensitivity and technical precision. They understand that the right sound can deepen emotion and that thoughtful lighting can turn a performance into a lasting memory. This attention to detail enables the company to bring artistry and reliability to every project, whether it's a large-scale gala, an intimate live session, or a hybrid event connecting audiences worldwide.

“Our passion lies in creating moments that leave a lasting impression,” says Manni Dogra, Manager (Corporate and Live Events) at Empire AV. “Working alongside Billboard helped us showcase how Empire combines technology and artistry in a way that elevates every performance and celebration. It’s about transforming vision into experience, where sound, light, and emotion come together to tell a story.”

Empire AV’s partnership with Billboard Canada reflects a shared commitment to innovation and excellence. Their ability to unite sound, light, and motion into one cohesive experience mirrors the creative spirit of the artists and executives celebrated at Billboard events.

That includes the recent intimate Billboard Canada LIVE event with Canadian electronic duo Bob Moses at the W Toronto, who teased the crowd with new song from their new album BLINK in the most pristine sounding environment possible.

It also includes Billboard Canada Women in Music, which featured moments from some of the biggest talent and executives in the Canadian music industry from The Beaches to Universal Music Canada President & CEO Julie Adam. Performances from Aqyila, Baby Nova, Noeline Hofmann and Coeur de Pirate & Alexandra Streliski awed the powerhouse crowd.

Whether building a stage that feels alive or designing lighting that captures emotion in real time, Empire AV continues to set the benchmark for live event production in Canada.
