Two times every year international arts leaders convene in one location to exchange and develop ideas, strengthen and nurture relationships, and rejuvenate their passion for the arts.  ISPA congresses link individuals from different backgrounds, cultures, disciplines, sectors and aesthetics with the common goal of celebrating their interconnectedness and advancing  the field of the performing arts on a global scale.

For over 20 years, ISPA has been holding International Congresses across the globe.  Each year, a selected city hosts the International Congress and a diverse group of delegates learn about local artists, and explore topics, venues, and histories relating to the region’s artistic past and future.

ISPA is delighted that the 2010 International Congress will be held in Zagreb, Croatia. Join us for Globalisation and Identity, ISPA's 2010 Zagreb Congress  on June 3-5, 2010!
