Out-of-State Recruitment Opportunities for NM
Industry marketing and networking events can often take months of preparation even when the goal is to just to set up meetings because the majority of industry is in the same place at the same time. There are other means of participation as well which may vary depending on the event: hosting receptions, registering for a booth, participating on a panel, advertising through ads and/or sponsorships, or supporting a screening of a NM production.
Below are key events where local collaboration may increase production recruitment to New Mexico. This is not a comprehensive list. And a reminder that if just one show produces in NM from a little face-time, the local economic benefit makes it worth the overall effort and cost.
