Who We Are

Avera Audiovisual is Canada’s largest privately owned corporate audiovisual partner, built to serve enterprise, institutional, and corporate clients across the country’s major economic markets. 

Formed through the merger of Proshow Audiovisual in the west, Bespoke Audio Visual in central Canada, and XPAV in the east, Avera was created to offer something the Canadian market has needed for a long time: a nationally capable AV partner with strong regional roots, local accountability, and one shared standard of excellence. 

We believe national capability should never come at the expense of local pride. That is why Avera is built differently. We combine the scale, infrastructure, and consistency of a national platform with the responsiveness, market knowledge, and relationships that only strong regional leadership can provide. 

For our clients, that means something simple but important: one trusted relationship across markets.  

Avera is designed to become an extension of the brands we serve, helping clients deliver experiences that are thoughtful, reliable, creative, and aligned with what matters most to their audiences. 

Our work includes corporate conferences, high-stakes leadership events, financial services programs, government and public sector events, national associations, multi-market enterprise programs, and hybrid or broadcast-integrated productions. We are focused on premium work, and we will partner with any client who is interested in adding value, solving problems, and creating memorable experiences. 

Avera is proudly 100% Canadian-owned, founder-led, and values-driven. We are building a national company without losing the people, character, and regional strength that made it worth building in the first place. 

World-class capabilities. National Reach. Local Pride 

Be in touch.
