The Commons

The next great performance doesn't start with a deal. It starts with an idea. That's why The Commons is more than a trade show. It's the hub of the conference, where hundreds of multidisciplinary agencies, artists, and presenters from across the performing arts spectrum gather to connect, share ideas, and explore routes. Do we do business here? Of course we do. We just do it in ways that are curated and collegial. This is WAA.

One size does not fit all in The Commons. We have regular meeting spaces with premium placement to small spaces for intimate connections.

Short on time? Are trade shows not your thing? Consider a drop-in Cabana. Leave the popup banners at home, sit back and relax in a fully furnished space. The only thing missing is the pool.

Exhibiting is a benefit for WAA members only. How much it costs to exhibit is based on your membership tier.

“Through my years as a presenter and now agent, I am forever grateful for the long-standing friendships in the field that began at WAA. My people, my circle.”
