Over 5 days in February the APAM (Australian Performing Arts Market) Gathering at Asia TOPA 2020 reflects an increasingly connected, sophisticated and established Australian performing arts sector in collaboration with our nearest neighbours: the Asia-Pacific.

The APAM Gathering at the Asia-Pacific Triennial of Performing Arts (Asia TOPA) invites over 350 participants to 5-day congress in Melbourne in summer.
