The American Circus Alliance has joined the American Performing Arts Professionals (APAP) as a member organization. This enables the ACA to give its members access to the
APAP annual booking conference at the extraordinary Artist rate of just $225. This is the largest US booking conference bringing together artists, companies, agents and theaters from January 12 - 16 in NYC. Typical rates are $300+ for an annual membership, plus the conference registration so this is a great deal! Plus you get to join us for two circus events the ACA is hosting.
In order to register, the ACA must first add you to our roster as an 'employee', then you can register yourself for the APAP conference.
The process: first fill out this form. Then the ACA admin team will add you to the 'employee' roster in our APAP member profile. You will then be emailed the log in process along with a temporary passcode so you can then register yourself for the Conference.
