Encore Canada & DataVisual: Advancing AV Innovation Together

Technology may evolve rapidly, but the relationships behind it are what drive lasting success. For over 25 years, Encore Canada and DataVisual have partnered to deliver innovative AV solutions that help event organizers create engaging, accessible, and reliable experiences. 

As Canada’s largest privately owned AV distribution company, DataVisual has spent more than 30 years bringing innovative audiovisual technologies to the Canadian market while providing exceptional support, technical expertise, and training to its partners. With three generations of industry experience, the company has become a trusted resource for organizations seeking reliable, future-ready AV solutions.  

Over the years, the partnership has supported investments in a wide range of technologies, including projection screens, discussion systems, Direct View LED Displays, and language distribution solutions, helping deliver impactful experiences for customers across Canada. 

York Kislich-Lemyre, COO and Vice President of Sales at DataVisual, explains: 

“With every new investment, Encore Canada helps us bring the latest technologies to the Canadian market, and we’re proud to support them along the way.” 

One recent area of collaboration has been the continued adoption of Televic’s discussion and language distribution solutions. These technologies help enhance meeting intelligibility and improve language accessibility, supporting more inclusive and effective experiences for attendees. 

Beyond the technology itself, the partnership is grounded in a shared commitment to helping customers achieve their event goals. DataVisual’s expertise and support help Encore Canada confidently evaluate and implement solutions that meet the evolving needs of meetings, conferences, and in-person events across the country. 

As Lisa Kislich-Lemyre, CEO of DataVisual, reflects: 

“When companies invest in local partnerships, everyone benefits, from our employees and customers to the communities we serve. We are excited for the future and look forward to growing, innovating, and delivering exceptional experiences together.”
