on June 3-5 in Zagreb, Croatia.

Zagreb Croatia

Globalisation and Identity, ISPA 2010 Zagreb Congress, will be proudly held in the capital of Croatia.  Croatia is a country that has preserved its soul and identity and its cultural and historical heritage in our fast paced and progressive world.  Over three days, a broad spectrum of international speakers will engage us in the challenges of embracing global interconnectedness while maintaining local cultural integrity.

  
 
Welcome from the CEO

David BaileThe last show you enjoyed at the Barbican Centre in London, The Playhouse in Durban, South Africa, JT PAC in Kochin, India or Lincoln Center here in New York, you were in an ISPA member’s venue.  When you were last thrilled by the high C of a singer, marveled at the technical artistry of a dancer or riveted by an actor’s soliloquy, there’s a good chance the artist was represented by one of ISPA’s artist manager members.  But that’s not all; ISPA members also include artists, artist competitions, funders, acousticians, theater architects and a host of other professionals working or associated with the performing arts.
