Technical production for the Montreal Firefighters' Association galas
Location: Montreal Science Centre

Our mandate
From 2017 to 2023, Master D handled the complete technical and logistical event management for the Montreal Firefighters Association’s "Lobster Dinner" gala evenings. Often held on a biennial basis at the Montreal Science Centre’s Le Belvédère or La Passerelle-Perspective venues, these major events benefited from our fully turnkey service. The Master D team oversaw operations with impeccable precision, providing high-quality sound systems tailored for an audience of 400, covering everything from official speeches to musical performances, while managing rotating DJs, video projection on 12-foot-wide screens, and stage lighting designed to create a consistently festive atmosphere. Furthermore, our host managed the flow of the evening, handling all announcements and introductions. Our strong partnership endured right to the very end; the only reason our team is no longer in charge of this annual event is that the 2023 edition marked the final chapter for this iconic gathering, as the Association decided to discontinue organizing it.
