In addition to free access to more than 1,200 performances throughout the New York area, Conference attendees will participate in professional development and networking events throughout this four-day gathering. This Conference Kit is designed to bring journalists up-to-the-minute information on this year's Members Conference activities and will be updated in the weeks leading up to the Conference as well as throughout the event. AnnouncementsThis year’s Members Conference, Moving Forward on Shifting Ground, will be held January 8-11, 2005 at the Hilton New York & Towers in New York City. It will feature keynotes, performances, workshops and an action-packed Resource Room – an international marketplace that will allow performing arts professionals to explore the vast array of resources currently in the field and the rapidly shifting environment in which the arts operate. If you cover the arts, this is the news gathering event for you! Make new arts contacts, see the newest and best in emerging artist works, and gain perspective on the state of the performing arts within the current economic and political climate.
