This one-day event provides actors, singers, dancers and performing artists the unique opportunity to receive advice from agents, casting directors and successful actors. Over 2,000 attendees in New York City came to the Hammerstein Ballroom to attend casting calls, exhibits, panels, master series, intensives and focus sessions. As event producer, budgets, staffing, signage, tech, food & beverage and set-up were arranged, along with marketing assistance.

Working with Ginger Donner Events brought the operational excellence Back Stage needed to elevate its Actorfest tradeshow franchise to the next level. Our experience outsourcing to GDE and with Ginger in particular was flawless, taking a much needed weight of resource prudence off our shoulders. As experts in vendor relations, attendee development and flow, operations & logistics, registration, and exhibitor management, Ginger and her team succeeded in streamlining our 16-year franchise into a seamless event for speakers, attendees, exhibitors, and Back Stage staff alike. I would rely on her team again without hesitation. – Charles Weiss, Associate Publisher / Director, Sales & Marketing, Back Stage – a div. of Nielsen Business Media, November 2008
