THE NEXT GREAT PERFORMANCE

EXHIBITING AT WAA: THE COMMONS
The Commons is the hub of the conference that includes the Exhibit Hall and the Lounge. It is a dynamic, exciting environment pulsating with potential. The Commons is a space for presenters, artists, agents, managers, and other attendees to gather, connect, and discover. Exhibiting is a benefit for WAA members only. How much it costs to exhibit is based on your membership tier.
REGISTER FOR AN EXHIBIT OR MEETING SPACE
Exhibit and meeting spaces are available exclusively to members and must be purchased alongside at least one regular registration. Individual members are not eligible to exhibit.
INSIDER ACCESS: Receive $100 off Early Bird registration as a returning exhibitor! We’re excited to introduce this special registration period in April, exclusively for previous exhibitors. Additionally, exhibit hall placement will occur in multiple phases, rewarding long-time and returning exhibitors for their continued commitment to WAA.
Your organization should have received an email on March 6 with details about its loyalty group. If you have questions about your exhibitor group, please reach out.
March 17 – 28: Sponsors at the Silver Level or Above
April 1 – April 11: 15+ Years Loyalty Group Exhibitor Placement
April 15 – 28: 1 – 14 Years Loyalty Group Exhibitor Placement
May 1 – Sell Out: First Time Exhibitors
We will place exhibitors in phases by lottery; exhibitors will receive exhibit space confirmation prior to the opening of the next phase. If you miss registering in your priority phase, you will still have an opportunity to register in the following phases with deference made to you in each wave.
You will indicate your exhibit space location preferences when you register, based on available inventory after the previous phase of registration. However, if none of the spaces in your preferences are available when placed we will assign the best location available given your selected exhibit type. Please note, there will be the option to be considered for premium placement for an additional fee.
After Insider Access registration, exhibit space placements are made on weekly basis. The most up-to-date exhibit space availability is here. (please stay tune for more details)
