Why We Come Together

We gather at APAP|NYC+ for community, commerce, learning, and discovery, as well as the networks and tools to fuel our work, our livelihoods, our industry, ourselves.

In January 2023, it was three years since we last met in-person. The 2023 conference was an energetic celebration, a reunion and a welcome -- all wrapped into one event.

“The discovery of new artistry and ideas. Connecting with others. Meeting new colleagues. The inspiration. The speakers in plenary sessions particularly gave me a lift I did not realize I needed.” -- Past Conference Attendee

Everyone is Welcome at APAP|NYC+

There are many reasons people attend APAP|NYC+. The conference is like no other because of the variety of people it draws and the range of performances it showcases.

Regardless of the role you play in your organization or in the field, and whether you are new to APAP or a long-time member, YOU are welcome, and we want to help you have a great experience.

We invite you to join our community of arts professionals where equity, diversity and inclusion are our guiding principles.

“[I liked] reconnecting with colleagues, [and] hearing stories and real experiences from the field.”

Health and Safety

In any space where people gather, there is an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19, its variants, as well as other virus variants. Given the time of year that we meet, we are strongly recommending attendees to wear a mask that covers both your mouth and nose at all times during the conference except while actively eating, drinking or performing. APAP will follow the applicable health and safety measures put into effect for the time of the conference by federal, state, and local public health and government officials.
