PAST WAA CONFERENCES

We bring our annual conference to a different city each year, making the most of the West’s vibrant performing arts infrastructure. We strive to produce an annual conference inspired by the city’s unique arts, culture, community, and infrastructure, and each year convene a Host Committee of local performing arts professionals to provide insight on and connections that help inform the scope and direction of the event.
