Showcase Promotion Opportunity

New in this volume of Pitchbook, you can also promote your January 2019 showcases in NYC, for an additional fee. The showcase promotion will appear in both print and digital editions of Pitchbook. The digital edition appears on our website, in our newsletter and is emailed as a PDF directly to 70+ international alumni of our programs, such as American Dance Recon. The print edition is distributed at performing arts conferences, festivals and gatherings throughout the year.

International programmers are traveling to NYC in January, at an increasing rate, to see showcases and attend conferences. Are you showcasing this year? If you'd like your 2019 showcase promoted in Pitchbook: Volume V, the cost is just $35.

This component is not a juried submission - the information you provide will automatically be included, regardless of whether your new dance project is selected for inclusion in Pitchbook: Volume V.

The deadline to reserve your ad is October 15. By November 15, you will be asked to provide:

Company name, contact and website
Showcase Title
Showcase Date
Showcase Time (include both start time and end time)
Showcase Location

Programmers cannot attend your showcase if they are not aware of it. Give your showcase the attention it deserves by taking advantage of this NEW promotion opportunity!

Submit to either or both opportunities
