APAP|NYC+ programming will include activities attendees know and love while introducing new elements in response to the new normal and our hybrid convening.
Plenaries that inspire and respond to the critical issues that matter most right now: What do the reckonings, adaptive learning, and evolutions across our field mean for the future of our workforce, the future of contracting, the evolution of programming practice, and the future of our gatherings – be they in the theater or at booking conferences?
Professional development sessions that provide you with practical strategies and resources for navigating the now and understanding how to adapt to an ever-evolving and unknown future.
Critical, interactive field-wide discussions that require all of us (artists, agents, managers, producers, presenters) to come together to discuss the future of contracting and equitable partnership, the future of how we do business, and the future of our workforce.
Affinity Groups, Networking Sessions, Roundtable Discussions, Safe Spaces to share innovations and challenges with YOUR people, gather with allies who share your values and priorities, greet missed colleagues, meet new colleagues, get the support you need, and engage in more intimate conversations about topics you care about. Good for introverts, too.
NEW! Speed Dating Sessions where artists, producers, presenters and agent/managers, and everyone in the field can discover and meet around projects, shared interests, or information in a fast-paced, time-effective and interactive format.
On-demand replays of sessions that allow you to view the sessions and events you want, when you want.
Affinity Groups at APAP|NYC+ provide opportunities for you to "meet your people" to discuss and address issues of common concern.
While usually a members-only benefit, during the APAP|NYC+ pre-conference and conference, APAP Affinity Groups and Forums are free and open to the public. Pre-registration is required and can be accessed here. In the meantime, let us know what Affinity Groups and Forums most interest you and the key topics you’d like to discuss here.
