Are you Ready to Produce Greatness?

Attendee Engagement Producer / Live Event Producer / Creative & Technical Producer

At E.L. Productions Ltd. (ELP), we have partnered with major Canadian Brands to produce greatness for over 30 years. Canada's premier event producers, we work with industry leaders and innovators to imagine, develop, and deliver exceptional experiences both virtual, live and beyond. We build experiences that make connections, shift thinking and inspire action.

We are currently looking for an Attendee Engagement Producer / Live Event Producer / Creative & Technical Producer to join our expanding team.

Does this sound like you?

• I understand that unforgettable events are about more than what happens on stage. They're about what the audience sees, hears, feels, and remembers.
• I love bringing creative ideas to life, connecting content, presenters, entertainment, staging, and production into one cohesive experience.
• I'm equally comfortable talking show flow and creative vision as I am budgets, timelines, technical requirements, and execution.
• I thrive in live environments, staying calm when things change, solving problems quickly, and keeping the experience moving without missing a beat.
• I'm highly collaborative and know how to bring clients, creatives, presenters, technical partners, and production teams together around a shared vision.

About The Role

At the core of unforgettable events is engagement: the kind that sparks emotion, fosters connection, and leaves people talking long after the lights go down.

The Attendee Engagement Producer brings the live event experience to life, translating program objectives and creative direction into impactful, immersive moments for attendees. From show production and technical execution to content, presenters, entertainment, staging, and environment, this role brings together the elements that shape what attendees see, hear, feel, and experience.

Working closely with clients and cross-functional creative, technical, content, and production teams, you'll balance creative ambition with disciplined execution, ensuring every element is thoughtfully planned, financially responsible, operationally sound, and delivered with precision.

As an Attendee Engagement Producer / Live Event Producer / Creative & Technical Producer, you will:

• Lead the planning and execution of attendee-facing program elements, including show flow, presenters, content, entertainment, staging, audience engagement, and production requirements
• Bring creative concepts to life by thoughtfully integrating content, production, staging, entertainment, environment, and audience experience
• Develop detailed show flows, production schedules, cueing requirements, and other documentation that keeps every element aligned
• Partner directly with client teams to develop, refine, and prepare content, presentations, and show elements for production
• Coordinate presenters, speakers, entertainment, and talent from planning through rehearsals and onsite execution
• Partner closely with technical production teams and vendors across staging, audio visual, lighting, show control, playback, and other production requirements
• Plan and coordinate rehearsals, ensuring presenters, content, entertainment, and technical teams are ready for live execution
• Lead or support onsite show execution, responding calmly and confidently to evolving requirements and last-minute challenges
• Manage assigned budgets, scope, vendors, and production costs while balancing creative ambition with financial objectives
• Identify production, operational, vendor, safety, and attendee experience risks early and support appropriate mitigation and contingency planning
• Contribute to post-program reviews, capturing learnings and identifying opportunities to continuously improve how we deliver experiences
