Exhibit spaces (a.k.a. "booths") in the EXPO Commons are first-come, first-served, and spaces are limited. Every year, we have a waiting list for exhibit spaces, so we encourage you to purchase your exhibit space early!
Please note:
In order to purchase a space, you must be a current APAP member and a conference registrant for APAP|NYC 2025. Note: Individual member types (student, iPAP, Artist Access) are not eligible to purchase exhibit space.
Here is the process for purchasing a space:
1. Confirm your APAP membership status. If you are not an APAP member or your membership expires before the conference, you will need to join APAP or renew your membership and keep your membership current in order to access important conference information, to login to the APAP|NYC online platform/app, and to check in on site at the conference.
2. Register for the conference. You must be a full registrant to purchase an exhibit space. When you register, please indicate your interest in exhibiting at APAP|NYC 2025, so that we can notify you of next steps in the exhibit space purchase process. (If you exhibited in 2024, you will automatically be notified.)
Note: Individual member types (student, iPAP, Artist Access) are not eligible to purchase exhibit space.
The exhibit space purchase process begins this summer on these dates according to tier status. The tier system is based on consecutive years of in-person exhibiting at the APAP|NYC conference.
Once you have purchased your exhibit space (a.k.a. "booth"), you will be given instructions on how to obtain booth badges for members of your team. (As you are required to be a full registrant before you purchase your space, you will not need a booth badge yourself.)
Exhibitors who purchase 1 exhibit space may purchase up to 3 booth badges at $295 each. Exhibitors who purchase 2 exhibit spaces may purchase up to 7 booth badges at $295 each.
Exhibitors who purchase exhibit space in the EXPO Commons will automatically receive a landing page on the APAP|NYC online platform/app. Your landing page can feature information, artist rosters, and videos, as well as your location in the EXPO Commons so that conference attendees can easily find you.
Landing pages on the APAP|NYC online platform/app will be listed alphabetically and can be tagged by searchable features like disciplines and genres.
Once you have purchased your exhibit space, you will be sent an invitation to set up your landing page.
Consider the following ways to drive interest to your exhibit space, and your organization, roster, or work.
