PERFORMERS PROGRAM
The Business
Industry insights and career guidance that performers need to know to develop their careers
The SAG-AFTRA Foundation’s The Business Program provides SAG-AFTRA artists with essential information and advice from entertainment industry professionals. From the latest conventions in auditioning and signing with an agent for the first time to managing finances, The Business program covers relevant topics performers need to know to enhance their professional skills in and around the industry.
Small Group Sessions, Workshops and Panels
The Foundation offers over 150 Small Group Sessions every year — intimate lectures, workshops, and seminars held virtually and in person, covering essential topics for performers. These topics include auditions and self-tapes, professional reels, money management, social media, finding representation, branding, resume building, and career management.
Small Group Sessions provide a space to break down concepts into practical action items that performers can apply individually to their own professional pursuits.
Additionally, the Foundation offers regular panels, both live and virtual, where leading industry professionals are invited to share their experiences and insights with a live audience of SAG-AFTRA artists. Most of these panels are recorded and available on the Foundation’s YouTube channel.
Support This Program
The Business program is free for SAG-AFTRA members and is made possible through gifts, grants and sponsorships.
