Why Keystone

A firm built on certainty.

We deliver conferences, executive summits, galas, and stakeholder events where reputation is on the line and there is no second take. Our work is equal parts strategy and execution — and the standard is simple: not merely run, but delivered with confidence.

As our client roster grows across Canada, we're adding people who share that standard. If you stay calm when a room of 500 is watching, you'll fit here.

What you can expect

Ownership, craft, and room to grow.

Real ownership

You'll hold responsibility on real programs, not shadow a spreadsheet.

Genuine craft

Run-of-show, vendor governance, on-site command — the details matter here.

Room to grow

Contract roles with real paths to permanent; coordinators who become leads.

The role

The hands-on craft of live production. You translate a plan into a flawless room — staging, AV, lighting, technical direction, and show-calling — and keep the show running to the second on the day. Two openings as we scale our production capacity across Canada.

What you'll do

  • Own technical production planning: staging plots, AV, lighting, power, and rigging needs
  • Brief and manage production vendors and crews to a single standard

  • Lead load-in, technical rehearsals, show, and load-out on-site
