What happens if I'm selected to showcase?
There is a Showcase Performance Fee of $600-$800, depending on the type of showcase. This fee must be paid if your act is selected to showcase. All artists involved in the showcase receive passes for access to the event for the day of their showcase.
Any additional people attending for the conference will have to purchase appropriate passes prior to the Convention. Full Delegate Registrations are $299. One full delegate fee is included in the cost of your initial exhibit booth. Daily passes for additional individuals are available for as low as $50.
