♿ What if making your venue more accessible was easier than you think?

Join Kai Bryan, drag artist, event producer, and member of the Phlegm Fatales, for an interactive walkthrough of the Better Backstages Toolkit at Convergence26!

Developed by the Atlantic Presenters Association, Eastern Front Theatre, and Music Nova Scotia, the toolkit offers practical, actionable ways to make venues more physically and emotionally accessible for artists. From lighting and parking to gender-neutral washrooms and smudging spaces, discover how small changes can make a meaningful difference—without a major capital investment.

The session includes a case study and hands-on activities to help you assess your own venue and identify opportunities for improvement.

“Spending time with colleagues always adds some fuel to my fire.” 🔥

You asked for practical information about one of the least glamorous—but most important—parts of presenting. So we programmed it.

Join Steve Beatty of Front Row Insurance Brokers Inc. for a candid, practical conversation about event insurance and what presenting organizations actually need to know in 2026.

From liability and cancellations to volunteers, vendors, and unexpected incidents, Steve will unpack common misconceptions, potential coverage gaps, and the questions you should be asking before your next event.

Because hoping nothing goes wrong isn’t a risk management strategy.
