Celebrating Tomorrow's Visionaries at the ImagiNAD 2026 Gala!

On May 12, 2026, the creative community gathered in Montreal for the ImagiNAD Gala, an inspiring showcase marking the culmination of years of hard work by the graduates of NAD and UQAC schools. The event was a true celebration of talent, featuring screenings of the graduates' final projects that drew massive cheers and praise from a packed house of proud families, peers, and industry professionals. Major studios were also on hand to honor the students' achievements with special awards.

Xencelabs was proud to attend as an official supporter of the event. Michelle Martorell, our Canada Enterprise Representative, hosted a hands-on demo table where attendees, students, and industry veterans alike could test drive our ecosystem of creative tools.

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to Christian Beauchesne from NAD for inviting us to participate in such a milestone evening. The sheer quality and artistry displayed by the students was nothing short of incredible, and we highly commend both NAD and UQAC for doing such an exceptional job preparing these creators for successful futures.

Finally, we want to give a huge congratulations to graduate Julia Desforges (@juliadesforgesart), who walked away with our Xencelabs Pen Tablet Medium Bundle giveaway. Julia, we can't wait to see what you bring to life next—keep creating what you dream!
