The Association of Talent Agents (ATA), established in 1937, serves as the official trade association for talent agencies across the United States, focusing on legislative advocacy and the negotiation of agency franchise agreements with major entertainment guilds. With over one hundred member companies, ATA represents a significant portion of professional working artists, providing resources such as best practices, educational seminars, and support in talent agency-related legislation.

ATA also operates a Political Action Committee (PAC) that engages in the public policy process, supporting candidates who can positively influence the talent agency profession in California and New York. While ATA offers guidance on talent representation agreements and industry issues, it is important to note that it is not a talent agency and does not provide referrals to artists seeking representation.
