Since 2006 the Association of Performing Arts Presenters has offered Alternate ROOTS space at its conference to represent artists from the Gulf Coast as its way of supporting the region devastated by Hurricane Katrina. At the 2010 conference, Alternate ROOTS will once again have the opportunity to represent touring artists in our region.

If you are interested in participating in the conference please contact the ROOTS staff. There is limited space available and Alternate ROOTS can only provide entrance to the conference for a very small number (ROOTS is not able to provide housing or travel).  If you go as one of the ROOTS participants, you will share time representing ROOTS at our booth in the EXPO hall.  Please plan for that when making your plans.

A little bit about the EXPO Hall.
The EXPO provides an opportunity to see some of the best of what the world has to offer. It is here so that you can find the artists that will attract and delight your audiences back home. The EXPO provides the largest international marketplace for those engaged in the field of presenting to stay on top of who is touring, who is developing new projects, when and where. With almost 400 exhibitors to speak with, there just isn't a better or a more efficient way to do business.

The APAP EXPO offers artists, managers and agents an unparalleled opportunity to meet buyers, sellers, presenting organizations, intermediaries, and others who collectively lead and fuel the presenting field. As the leading performing arts marketplace in the world, the APAP EXPO bristles with energy every open hour, making your presence there indispensable to getting the information you need to stay on the edge when it's time to conduct business.
