The world is a smaller place when you are in the right rooms.
These are the international performing arts platforms that have shaped AFE’s journey - conferences and festivals Aaron has attended, built real relationships through, and found genuinely valuable for connecting with artists, presenters, and cultural organisations around the world.
There are plenty of other great markets out there - these are just the ones we know firsthand.
From the world’s largest arts festivals to smaller marketplace platforms, these are the rooms where lifelong friendships are made, touring opportunities come up in conversation, collaborations are born, and international careers quietly take shape.
Since starting AFE in Mumbai in March 2020, Aaron has attended 50+ international arts conferences and festivals across 6 continents and the network that’s come out of it has been the most valuable thing we’ve built.
If you’re an artist, producer, or arts organisation thinking about taking your work international - SAVE THIS. 📌 We’ll keep adding to it.
