For 20 years this conference has been a conduit for connecting songwriters with seasoned professionals in the industry.
This conference is built by songwriters for songwriters. If you are a new songwriter, or you are a seasoned writer this is for you. If your goal is to be a staff writer, or just enjoy the art of writing this conference is for you. If you enjoy music and are interested in meeting the music community this conference is for you!

This conference is educational and fun!
"There is not another like it!" is a common comment made by both the industry professionals who have participated as part of the staff, and participants.

Through workshops in songwriting, co-writing, insights into the publishing business, discussions on production, distribution, live performance, touring and more you will have the opportunity to dive deeper into the areas that most interest you and will help you on your journey. You will leave rejuvenated with new tools for your music tool box, new friends, and re-connections with old friends, new artists that you want to follow, and a better idea of how to have your music heard above all the noise in the crowd!  

GO HERE TO SIGN UP NOW FOR THE EARLY BIRD PRICE OF $199. THROUGH JAN 31, 2024!
