CALLING ALL PRESENTERS: Registration for Contact East 2021 is NOW OPEN! 

After last year’s virtual Contact(less) East, we’re excited to announce that this year’s conference will take place IN-PERSON in Moncton, NB September 23-26! 

In anticipation of our flagship showcasing conference, this eNews will be about all things Contact East.

Summer is kind of a one-track season here at APA, so we’re sorry if everything is Contact East this and Contact East that—but trust us, come September 23 it will all be worth it!

We know that summer can be a busy time for our members, so make sure to find some time to relax in midst of it all. We at APA are going to try our best to soak up some summer rays before the whirlwind that is September.

Celebrating its 46th year this September, Contact East is Atlantic Canada’s premier performing arts booking, showcasing and professional development conference that brings together presenters, agents, managers and artists from around the world.

Contact East is a unique opportunity to see a variety of top-notch, award-winning multi-disciplinary artists from across Atlantic Canada. Many regional, national and international delegates representing venues and festivals attend to take part in four days of artistic discovery, professional development, networking and more!

We are very excited to launch registration for Contact East 2021, set to take place in-person in Moncton, NB September 23 – 26. We are in the throes of planning our comeback conference and more details will be available soon.
