NFHS
2020 Performing Arts Conference Virtual Keynote
OPPORTUNITY: For the first time in its 21-year history, the annual NFHS Performing Arts Conference (PAC) had to be conducted online September 14-18, 2020. Originally, the PAC was slated to be held face-to-face; however, survey results in mid-August reflected an apprehension on the part of performing arts administrators which was what spurred the decision to adapt the material for streaming on Zoom.
RESULT: Fran Kick created a three-part pre-recorded series of opening keynote video segments that were live streamed to participants. Each segment set up a series of interactive breakout discussions for performing arts administrators to share ideas with each other. Over the course of the five-day event, the conference saw viewership from more than 150 registrants representing 35 different states and several national performing arts organizations.
PRESENTED BY:
The National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) is the national leader and advocate for high school athletics as well as fine and performing arts programs.

“We have received a lot of positive feedback, and that is directly related to your hard work.”
Dr. James Weaver, NFHS Director of Performing Arts
