In this session, we’ll review the history of our field and explore the different professional roles in the arts ecosystem and how they work together to bring artists and audiences together. It’s all about relationships. In addition, we’ll explore the basic principles of how a performance makes it from idea to stage.
Part 2: Getting the Most from your Conference Experience, October 26, 2:00-4:00 p.m. EDT
Conferences are where we come together for intensive networking, to learn best practices, and talk about the future. In this session, we’ll explore how to maximize your time at conferences, speaking with seasoned industry professionals about conference preparation, showcase attendance, and exhibit hall etiquette, with plenty of insider tips for getting a lot accomplished and having fun too!
Part 3: Living the Future: Emerging Best Practices in Arts Presenting, November 16, 2:00-4:00 p.m. EST
As our world has undergone seismic shifts over the past few years, the arts industry has evolved to respond with new ideas for engaging community, and instituting equitable practices such as salary transparency and artist compensation.
