Hosting a Private Showcase Room
Private Showcases will take place on the 8th – 12th floors of the Sheraton New Orleans primarily in guest rooms and suites. Each individual room is contracted out to a Private Showcase Presenter who in turn books and schedules performances of registered conference attendees. Anyone can apply to become a Private Showcase Presenter (examples: labels, organizations, agents, artists, etc). Applications are now open.
Presenters are required to book a room for a minimum of three nights in a regular guest room. Suite holders are required to book a room for four nights. If a suite holder wants to present for three nights, FAI will consider exceptions on a case by case basis based on a commitment to exhibiting, advertising, or sponsorship. Please contact our Private Showcase Coordinator at privateshowcase@folk.org if you have any questions about the process as a host.
Presenters must pay a US$135 (per room) Private Showcase hosting fee. All application fees are non-refundable. This fee is separate from the cost of the room, chair rental, bed removal, hospitality, and conference registration.
