In order to more completely fulfil OISTAT’s mission, “the exchange of ideas and innovation, and to promote international collaboration”, it is important to include those educational institutions and commercial organisations that provide professional education and training, equipment, professional services, and consultation with those architects, artists, and technicians who work in support of live performance.

An organisation wishing to become an Associate Member must apply to OISTAT, showing that its principal activity or core business is directly related to one or more of the disciplines of OISTAT.
