Every two years Australia's freshest performing arts talent heads to Adelaide to showcase before national and international producers and presenters at the Australian Performing Arts Market (APAM).

A prime networking event and a chance to meet the movers and shakers of contemporary perfoming arts in the Asia Pacific region, APAM takes place from 22-26 February at the Adelaide Festival Centre in South Australia.

At APAM 2008 Queensland showcased seven companies, with Circa, and Dancenorth securing international tours.

APAM is held in conjunction with the Adelaide Festival and Fringe, and includes the vibrant Spotlight showcase, Searchlight pitch sessions, On Display booths, a keynote address, forums, workshops and networking functions with hundreds of producers and presenters from across the world.
