Featuring five days of professional development sessions, networking opportunities, and special events, the global performing arts gathering demonstrates why it is the go-to conference for the presenting, booking, and touring industry.
The annual conference is where artists, agents, managers, producers, and presenters of all genres of the performing arts from around the world meet and experience live performance. More than 1000+ APAP|NYC performance showcases happen all around New York City highlighting new work, ready to tour. Showcase listings go live beginning in November to conference registrants only. Register now. Commerce and community are the heart of the conference as attendees connect to support the creative work and the business, most notably in the APAP|NYC EXPO, the largest exhibition hall of its kind.
At APAP|NYC 2025, sessions will focus on three areas that highlight how the performing arts industry is changing: Audience Evolutions; Advocating for Ourselves, Our Organizations, and the Field; and Shifts in Practice.
