Workshops

Call for PD@PAE workshop topics now open!

Professional development workshops support the presenting and touring field with practical management, leadership and career training. Presenters, artists, agents and managers will find a variety of topics to deepen their knowledge and expand their ways of working.

PAE workshops are organized into four focus areas: Fundamentals, Skills, Issues & Ideas, and Short Attention Span. Fundamentals workshops cover the basics for those new to the topic. Skills workshops provide specialized and in-depth information. Issues & Ideas workshops are designed for experienced professionals who want to dig deeper into an issue. Short Attention Span sessions are just one hour visit to a topic or a roundtable discussion.

Workshops are offered every day of the conference (Thursday, Friday and Saturday), and are included with your registration unless otherwise specified.
