ASA Live: Conference Entertainment from Top Performers — Ottawa Event Planner for Meetings and More
Entertainment at a conference doesn’t have to be an afterthought — and it certainly doesn’t have to be generic. At ASA Live, we curate entertainment that fits the moment, amplifies your message, and leaves a lasting impression on your audience. From immersive, showstopping spectacles to elegant musical moments, we tailor each experience to your event’s goals and tone.
As a leading Ottawa event planner and conference production agency, we’ve delivered entertainment for everything from national policy forums and leadership summits to large-scale public festivals and private receptions. If you can imagine it, we can bring it to life — safely, seamlessly, and with style.
The Possibilities Are Limitless
Here’s a glimpse at the range of entertainment we’ve programmed, managed, or staged:
Aerial acrobats suspended from rigging or venue ceilings
Fire and LED shows with licensed professionals and tight safety controls
Drone shows programmed to dazzle over outdoor venues or opening nights
Jazz duos or string quartets providing classy atmosphere for networking receptions
Indigenous cultural performances that offer reflection and meaning
Branded drumming intros, roving stilt walkers, live painters, interactive tech-driven displays — and more
Whether your event calls for subtle elegance or bold spectacle, we match you with the right talent and take care of every detail, from technical setup to cue-to-cue stage management.
Live Music That Connects
We’ve booked and produced performances for acclaimed Canadian artists including:
Bif Naked – A legendary rock figure known for electrifying energy
Brooke Candy – Bold, visually iconic, and unforgettable on stage
Amanda Rheaume – JUNO-nominated Métis artist with deeply moving songwriting
Mehdi Cayenne – Genre-defying and perfectly suited for bilingual audiences
These aren’t background acts — they’re curated experiences that anchor an evening, open a plenary, or end a summit on a high.
Indigenous Performers and Cultural Voices
We proudly work with Indigenous artists whose performances carry authenticity, history, and contemporary power:
Larissa Desrosiers – Anishinaabe singer-songwriter with lyrical depth and emotional resonance
Makhena Rankin Guerin – A captivating hoop dancer and multidisciplinary performer, whose work fuses tradition, movement, and artistry
Their contributions often serve as purposeful opening or closing moments — adding grounding and integrity to your event.
Signature Acts That Raise the Bar
Funky Lev – A performance drummer who blends rhythm with light, movement, and stagecraft. Think of him as a hype moment generator — ideal for transitions, speaker intros, and energizing a crowd without overwhelming it.
Andrii and Anastasia – Professionally trained in circus arts from Kyiv, these aerialists and movement artists deliver cinematic, high-concept performances. Their work ranges from poetic aerial duets to theatrical acts, including a chilling Pennywise-themed aerial straps piece that stunned a Halloween audience.
Why ASA Live?
As your Ottawa conference planner, ASA Live does more than suggest a list of performers. We bring vision, strategy, and execution. We consider your theme, your audience, and your venue — and ensure the entertainment aligns with all three.
From sourcing and booking to coordinating technical riders, rehearsals, and live direction, we manage it all. You get a polished, professional result without the stress or guesswork.
