Attendees

Each year, we welcome 900–1,000 performing arts professionals to the Conference.

Presenters: Nearly half of our attendees are the “buyers” — those who contract artists to perform at their venues. Representing theaters, performing arts centers, universities and colleges, and performing arts series, etc., these organizations range from small, one-person operations to large performing arts centers with multiple performance series and venues. Learn more about state and regional presenter networks.
Exhibitors: Nearly half of our attendees are the “sellers” – those promoting artists seeking bookings. Including performing artists/ensembles, artist managers and agents, producing companies, producing organizations, and arts service organizations that promote artists, these attendees range from one-person agencies representing a handful of artists to multinational agencies representing dozens of artists, and from solo theater artists and modern dance companies to big bands and family entertainment.
Service organizations: A small but important percentage of our attendees provide services to the performing arts field. These organizations include national (National Endowment for the Arts), regional (Arts Midwest), and state- and local-level organizations (Minnesota State Arts Board, community arts councils).
Other attendees: The Conference is also attended by college students, consultants, and spouses/partners of attendees.
