Showcase Opportunity: Pacific Contact 2026
Oct 1-4, 2026 with Nanaimo, BC.
Deadline: March 6, 2026
Pacific Contact is BC’s annual showcase conference for the performing arts.
This 4-day conference attracts hundreds of performing arts professionals who gather to plan performances, network, learn, and develop lasting relationships that extend into communities around the province. Each year, the event is attended by presenting organizations from BC, across Canada and the US as well as artists, agents, government funders, arts advocacy and service organizations.
Pacific Contact features juried showcase performances by approximately 44 different artist groups, a trade-show style exhibit hall (Contact Room), networking events, panels, meetings and workshops.
The showcase and conference events are designed to be a collegial and practical means of networking and block-booking. Events are organized to provide ample time and opportunity to meet and foster conversation between presenters, artists, and agents.
Pacific Contact is an opportunity to get inspired, experience live performances, discover new artists, make connections, network with colleagues, discuss the latest and most important issues facing the sector, and, most of all, have some fun!
