Showcase at APAP|NYC 2026

Here are factors for you to consider when deciding to showcase. You should have:

• Work that has high artistic integrity
• A budget and plan to cover your expenses
• A network of presenters who are interested in your work
• Managerial and administrative capacity to solicit and follow up with presenters

As APAP does not curate showcases, you will need to secure a venue when planning your in-person showcase. There are two options, you can:

1. Book your own venue outside of the Hilton. Showcase producers are responsible for coordinating performance times and logistics directly with the venue. Use this showcase venue guide to contact outside venues and plan your showcase. This information is subject to change and should be verified with each venue. Please reference the Accessibility Checklist for APAP|NYC Showcase Producers while choosing your venue so you can maximize accessibility for audiences and performers.
   
   
2. Purchase a showcase slot in the Hilton from an independent APAP showcase producer. If you are interested in showcasing at the Hilton, email apapnyc@apap365.org to be connected with an independent APAP showcase producer.

Once you have planned your showcase, consider these ways to drive audiences to your event.

Showcase listings are the easiest way to promote your performance. Showcase listings live in our online platform/app and provide information about the artists, date, time, and location of showcases, as well as how attendees can RSVP for in-person showcases.

NOTE: Purchasing a showcase listings is NOT purchasing a showcase slot. (See above instructions on how to secure a venue space for your showcase.)

• You can purchase showcase listings when you register for the conference.
• You must be a registered conference attendee to purchase a listing.
• Showcase listings are $10 each. Each listing represents a single performance.
