What is Connections 2.0?

Through its leadership in dynamic cultural diplomacy, CAPACOA and the International Market Development Committee (IMDC) have become a catalyst for Canada to engage in collaborative, reciprocal and creative relationships around the globe.

Inspired by our pandemic-related Connections pilot project, the IMDC is proud to launch Connections 2.0, a virtual networking event aimed at bringing Canadian and International artists together with presenters to promote the discoverability and touring potential of export-ready work. Artists will have the opportunity to showcase their projects through virtual Snapshots, while uncovering potential collaborations with presenters via one-on-one B2B meetings and virtual roundtable discussions.

This four-day event from March 27-30, 2023 will provide a platform for connectivity and networking among arts practitioners from Canada and throughout Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, New Zealand and Spain. Programming will highlight a multi-disciplinary breadth of work in theatre, dance, circus and music.

Live translations will be available in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.
