Sound Like a Pro: The A's
In order to be a professional in Concerts, Festivals and Special Events, you will need to use the terms from a number of fields. We will fill you in from A to Z ( wait until you see the X's and Z's!).
The A's
Concerts and Special Events:

Avails (available dates) referring to a venue's open dates.
Conventions and Meetings:
ATA Carnet an international customs document that allows tax free and duty free import of goods temporally for up to one year. It covers samples, goods for presentation and equipment to be used at conventions, trade shows and exhibitions. Items that are consumed or meant to be disposed of and not returned to point of origin are not covered. ATA is an acronym for "Admission Temporaire/Temporary Admission (French/English).

Associations and Nonprofits:
Annual Fund yearly program organized to obtain gifts (tax deductible to donors) to help support the general day to day operations of a nonprofit.
Articles of Incorporation a legal doc that creates a specific type of organization, in this case a tax exempt, under the laws of the IRS and a specific state.
Insurance:
Active Participant person(s) such as an entertainer or band, or other key person, whose absence from a planned event would trigger a benefit (payment to promoter) if the event needs to be cancelled or postponed.
