Membership for Small and Mid-Sized Presenters (SAMPs)

APAP believes that performing arts professionals are stronger together. We invite small and mid-sized presenters (those with budgets of $2 million and under) to join APAP at a very low rate of $300.

In addition to the APAP|NYC+ conference and the member benefits which all of your staff can access, here are some resources expressly for SAMP members:

• SAMP Survey Report: APAP has been focused on better understanding SAMPs since 2018. In September 2020 we released our latest findings and the first national study on SAMPs in a comprehensive report, Executive Summary and special COVID-19 Addendum
• SAMP Affinity Group: We have launched a members-only Affinity Group for SAMPs, providing ongoing critical peer support and an information-sharing network. The Group is also be a vital sounding board to help APAP identify how we can further support SAMPs and increase their visibility across the field.
• Webinars/Sessions: APAP will offer SAMP-specific webinars and conference sessions highlighting innovations through COVID-19. We also plan to facilitate dialogue between SAMPs and agents to develop new strategies for programming and partnerships.

We are here for you, and we want you here. If you have questions or want more information about this special membership offer, feel free to reach out to Sue Noseworthy, Membership Director, at snoseworthy@apap365.org

Following the APAP|NYC 2025 conference and in preparation for meeting the year-one milestones of APAP’s five-year Sustainability Plan, the APAP staff will have a "purposeful pause" from February 3-28, 2025 in order to rest and reset. The membership join process for individuals and organizations will not be available during the pause. Those interested in joining APAP as a new member can indicate your interest here, and you will be contacted by an APAP team member in March.
