Sponsorship

Step into the Circle 

Your partnership doesn't just put your logo in front of decision-makers. It sustains the depth over scale, the relationships over transactions, and the intimacy over spectacle that makes WAA unlike any other convening in the performing arts. 

When you step into the circle, you expand the circle. The showcase that becomes a booking, the introduction that becomes a partnership, the conversation that launches a career. You help create the moments that attendees will remember for the rest of their professional lives.

When one generation invests, another begins. 

Emerging presenters, agents, and artists attend WAA looking for role models and opportunities. Your partnership shows what leadership looks like. Your leadership sustains more than a conference. It sustains the relationships, discoveries, and collaborations that define careers and shape the performing arts landscape across the West and the world.
