We are thrilled that you have become one of APAP’s newest members. While it’s exciting to have joined our community, it can also be a little daunting. You might be wondering, “What do I do now?”. Rest assured; the APAP team is here to help.
Visit (and bookmark) the APAP website.
Set up your APAP membership profile.
- Your membership profile allows other members to find you and learn more about you/your organization.
- If you have an organizational membership, be sure to build your staff list to include all of your team members. Organizational membership benefits are for everyone---Giving your team access gives them the opportunity to develop professionally.
- To set up your profile, login to the APAP website and then navigate to the “My Account” area. You can build your profile, create a staff list, and set up an artist roster (if you have one).
Review the Membership Directory.
- As an APAP member, you have access to the APAP Membership Directory with your member login.
- You can conduct searches for specific organizations (e.g., you are trying to find Troy New York Performing Arts Center) or searches by location (for example, you could search for all presenters in New York state), as well as by discipline.
- You can also request the formatted membership directory PDFs (created monthly) from the APAP Membership Team at info@apap365.org.
Look for our member newsletter, Spotlights.
- This biweekly newsletter comes to your inbox the second and fourth Tuesday of each month and includes important updates and opportunities for APAP members. If, for some reason, you are not receiving Spotlights within two weeks of joining APAP, contact our Marketing and Communications Team at communications@apap365.org.

- There is a lot of great content here. Check out all our YouTube playlists!
- Highly recommended for new members are:
Follow APAP on social media.

Look for our conference newsletter, Conference eNews.
- This biweekly newsletter comes to your inbox the first and third Tuesday of each month, from October through January and includes important conference opportunities, information, and deadlines. If, for some reason, you are not receiving eNews within two weeks of joining APAP, contact our Marketing and Communications Team at communications@apap365.org.
Attend our Road to Conference events.
- APAP is hosting “Road To Conference” webinars and other events like Office Hours, Affinity Groups, and more where you can get tips, ask questions, and connect with your colleagues during the lead-up to the big event!
- Check APAP’s calendar of events regularly and read the Spotlights newsletter for updates and to RSVP.
Use the Attendee List to connect with other attendees in advance.
- Starting in October 2024 on a weekly basis, all APAP|NYC registrants will receive an updated, segmented list of conference attendees.
- While the list may be used for marketing outreach, attendees are discouraged from sending eblasts indiscriminately. For those who are promoting their rosters and showcases, the best practice is to identify attendees who you have researched and who may be interested in your offerings based on their history of presenting.
Use the Conference Online Platform/App.
- Launching this fall, the APAP|NYC online platform/app is your one-stop-shop for the conference, available to all registrants.
- The app is where you can view the detailed schedule, learn more about other attendees, browse exhibitors, peruse showcase listings, plan your schedule, and more.
- As the information is updated regularly as the conference approaches, be sure to check back for new showcase listings, exhibitors, attendees, and events.
Artists, Agents, and Artist Managers!
