IBA Partnerships Survey
One of the best ways to engage with other IBA members is through partnerships, co-commissions and co-productions. As many IBA members have expressed interest in developing partnerships, we have created a survey to further define these areas of interest. We also aim to connect members with similar partnership interests.
Through open discussion and the exchange of ideas in the Programming Committee, this survey was developed by Woodrow Kernohan, Director of EVA International and IBA Institutional Member. It is supported by the IBA Office.
