I can’t wait to be part of it again later this summer. A great place to network and meet new global suppliers.”
ATSC had been sidelined from in-person events and providing virtual trade shows since 2020 due to COVID-19 international travel and in-person meeting restrictions.

A show for Canadians to connect with the players and influencers in the industry – we would never charge our attendees to come network, learn, and source,” said Jason Prescott, CEO of JP Communications. “We were committed to bringing this show back to Canadian soil. We never stopped pushing governments and embassies all over the world. Our team never took no for an answer. ATSC started here, it grew here, it expanded to Miami, Montreal, & Europe.
