New to the Performing Arts industry?  New to your position?  We’re here to make your conference experience the best it can be!  Our New Colleague Program has been carefully crafted to create connections and foster a welcoming environment for industry newcomers, and also provide guidance to those who may have attended a conference before.

How does this work?  It’s simple! Sign up for an advisor during registration.  An advisor will be matched to the new colleague to serve as a resource to answer questions and provide guidance to prepare for a successful XPO experience. Matches will be made, notifications and important resources will be sent out well in advance of the XPO to provide time to connect and prepare.   

We encourage all new colleagues and their advisors to join us at the New Colleague Connection session on Monday, September 15 at 4 p.m. (location to be announced) to get XPO updates, hear about presenter consortiums and have the opportunity to ask/answer questions about the XPO.  A tour of the Marketplace Hall for new colleagues is also in the works!
