Showcase at APAP|NYC+ 2023

Here are factors for you to consider when deciding to showcase. You should have:

• Work that has high artistic integrity.
• A budget and plan to cover your expenses.
• A network of presenters who are interested in your work.
• Managerial and administrative capacity to solicit and follow up with presenters.

As APAP does not curate showcases, you will need to secure a venue when planning your in-person showcase. There are two options, you can:

1. Book your own venue outside of the Hilton. Showcase producers are responsible for coordinating performance times and logistics directly with the venue. Use this showcase venue guide to contact outside venues and plan your showcase.
2. Purchase a showcase slot/slots in the Hilton from an APAP showcase producer. If you are interested in showcasing at the Hilton, email apapnyc@apap365.org.

As APAP does not curate showcases, you will need to determine what platform to use for your online showcase. Please note:

• Online showcases may be pre-recorded or livestreamed.
• Learn more about livestreaming platforms and guidance here.
• Showcase producers are responsible for coordinating logistics and production for online showcases.

Showcase listings are the easiest way to promote your performance. Showcase listings are housed on the online conference platform, Swapcard*, and provide information about the artists, date, time, and location of showcases, as well as how attendees can RSVP for in-person showcases or can watch online showcases. 

• You can purchase showcase listings when you register. (You will receive an email with the link to create your showcase listings this fall.) You may also purchase listings after you register via the registration system.
• You must be a registered conference attendee to purchase a listing.
• Showcase listings are $10 each. Each listing represents a single performance.
• You may purchase showcase listings for in-person, pre-recorded and livestreamed showcases. Separate showcase listings must be purchased for in-person and pre-recorded/livestreamed showcases.
• Showcase listings will appear under the Showcases heading on the online conference platform, Swapcard, starting this fall.
