New York 2022 ISPA Congress - Home
opportunity of now

Congress Theme

Opportunity of Now

As we begin 2022, we want to take stock. To stop, think and discuss where we are and what is the work of now. Over the past 24 months there has been much at play. Issues of equity, access, wellbeing, and power have never been more present but what does this really mean in this moment of opportunity and challenge for our community? Through a series of discussions, workshops, and presentations, ISPA delegates will continue to navigate moving the performing arts forward as a community. A hybrid event, we will enjoy a live gathering alongside virtual components. Join us in New York or from wherever you are as we explore the moment.

Announcements

The digital Congress platform: Socio will remain open throughout the end of January. If you missed any broadcasted live session or wish to watch something again, you can  log back in with your registration email at your convenience to view them on-demand.
