APAP|NYC is the world's premier gathering of the performing arts presenting, booking and touring industry and the annual members conference of the Association of Performing Arts Professionals.
APAP is offering both an in-person and an online conference in 2022---making the most of meeting together in-person in New York City, while also maximizing access, engagement and convenience through our online platform.
The in-person conference will take place January 14-17, 2022, and the online conference happens January 10, 11 and 13, and also includes some events that will overlay the in-person conference. There will be free and open-to-the-public pre-conference activities from December 6-8, 2021.
Two Ways In
What does "two ways in" look like?
Whether you choose to participate in-person, online or both, substantial and engaging conference activities will happen on both tracks.
Unlike what we might conventionally think of as a hybrid conference, this will not be a conference where everything is livestreamed for a (secondary) virtual audience and nothing else.
While there may be sessions that are livestreamed, there will be many unique opportunities and experiences designed with the intended audience---in-person or online---in mind, including:
Professional Development - in-person and online
Plenaries - in-person and online
Networking - in-person and online
Exhibiting - in-person and online
Speed Dating - in-person and online
Fieldwide Conversations and Roundtable Discussions - in-person and online
The in-person conference will take place January 14-17, 2022 at the New York Hilton Midtown. There will be online elements that overlay the in-person conference. In-person registrants will have access to both experiences through one affordable registration rate.
The online conference will happen January 10, 11 and 13, 2022, and will include events and activities that complement the in-person conference. Online registrants will enjoy lots of activity and engagement for one low rate.
APAP will also host an online pre-conference, featuring affinity groups and fieldwide conversations and sessions from December 6-8, 2021. The pre-conference will be free and open-to-the-public. (Advance registration required.)
All registrants of the January conference will have access to the online events and platform.
APAP|NYC is a founding partner of JanArtsNYC. A partnership of independent multidisciplinary festivals, industry convenings and international marketplaces, JanArtsNYC is one of the largest and most influential gatherings of its kind.
