Event Information

Welcome to NCPC’s Virtual Winter Booking Meeting!

This January, we’re bringing the warmth of connection straight to your screen.

Even though we may be miles apart, the Winter Booking Meeting remains one of NCPC’s most personal and collaborative gatherings. It is a space where presenters, artists, and arts leaders come together to share ideas, discover performances, and build lasting relationships.

This year's fully virtual format maintains the spirit of creativity and community you've come to expect while providing the comfort of joining from your own space, with a statewide network just a click away. Expect meaningful conversations, engaging artist videos, and plenty of opportunities to connect.

Whether you’re seeking new talent, sharing your experiences presenting various acts, or simply reconnecting with colleagues, the Winter Booking Meeting invites you to slow down, connect deeply, and get ready to plan big for the year ahead.

Join us as we celebrate the art of connection — even at a distance.

This presenter-only event draws attendees from across North Carolina and beyond, and your sponsorship helps make it possible while giving you a powerful platform to connect directly with presenters and showcase your artists or programs.


With this year’s fully online format, sponsors gain broader exposure and direct access to every attendee — no travel required. Your message reaches everyone simultaneously, making your impact even stronger.
