Tenerife Audiovisual Expo Forum to Showcase Industry Growth and Innovation
The Tenerife Audiovisual Expo Forum returns to the Tenerife Trade Fair Center on May 15th and 16th to showcase industry innovation, professional training, and the region's growing influence in the global creative market.
The Canary Islands’ audiovisual industry is reaching a new level of maturity, a milestone that will be highlighted at the Tenerife Trade Fair Center on May 15th and 16th. The upcoming Tenerife Audiovisual Expo Forum has become a vital hub for the region’s creative community, driving professional growth and technological innovation across the sector.
Organized by Dalay Betancort and René Martín Valido, the event goes beyond a standard trade show, serving instead as a space for sharing knowledge. The agenda focuses on practical skills, particularly how to streamline film production and use digital tools like AV HUB, a platform designed to help technicians connect with production companies. These efforts aim to standardize workflows, helping local businesses stay competitive in a global market.
The technical program is extensive, covering everything from advanced sound recording—including the debut of the Sennheiser Spectera system—to directing action sequences. The forum will also explore the art of filmmaking, with sessions on the impact of 65mm large-format film, as well as the essential roles of composition and music in storytelling.
A standout feature this year is the "gastroperformance" project, EmTir. This initiative blends catering with immersive technology, using virtual reality, 360-degree video, and sensory effects to transform the dining experience. Beyond the novelty, the project offers a unique look at how sound and visuals influence our senses, providing new ways to analyze and experience gastronomy.
By combining professional workshops with demonstrations of the latest technology, the Expo Forum reinforces Tenerife’s status as a center for modern creativity. The event supports the islands' economic goals, positioning the audiovisual sector as a key driver of cultural and financial growth. By bridging traditional technical skills with new immersive storytelling, the forum is helping to shape the future of an industry looking to expand its reach on the world stage.
