Cooperative Buying Sessions
APCA Cooperative Buying is a program that gives the schools attending APCA conferences the ability to merge their buying power, offering performers/speakers a block of dates in a specified time period (for live events) in exchange for a lower price and sharing of travel costs (when applicable) with other schools. Cooperative Buying blocks are set up as follows:
For Virtual Events:
Isolated - A single date
2 events
3 events
5 or more events
2 events in 3 days
3 events in 5 days
5 events in 7 days
Exhibit Halls & Virtual Engagement with Schools
Associates are APCA member agencies, artists, performers, speakers, etc. representing the showcasing attractions. All exhibiting associates are APCA members, and bound by APCA ethics and sensitivity guidelines.
Conference exhibitors can be found in their booths during designated Exhibit Hall hours. They can answer questions, explain rider and contract terms, and generally give member schools all the information they need to bring an artist or vendor to their campus event. Typical booths will have bios, pictures, sample contracts and cooperative buying forms available.
Associates featured in the virtual conference can be viewed online for the duration of the conference in the APCA workplace, not just during specific exhibit times! Associates can answer questions, explain rider and contract terms, and generally give schools all the information they need to bring an artist or vendor to their live or virtual event.
