The Popular Music Program at Arizona State University will be bringing together both local and domestic music industry professionals to our state of the art facilities in Downtown Phoenix to engage our student body and the cultural community we are embedded in. This event is focused both on engaging with the industry as it exists today and how we as future leaders can form and shape the industry of tomorrow.
Network with industry professionals from TikTok, Def Jam and TIDAL Music, with special presentations from Grammy and Emmy nominees.
In a commitment to education, we are offering complimentary entry to all students across universities, community colleges and high schools in Arizona. Discover a unique networking and knowledge-sharing opportunity in the heart of Phoenix that is open to the public and widely advertised through media partners and digital channels. Our goal is to provide an inclusive experience that fosters growth and learning for the next generation.
Panels and conversations: The Music Industry is an ever evolving and interconnected ecosystem. Conference panels and conversations are focused on engaging the community through education and dialogue, providing opportunities for both learning, conversation and deep listening.
Masterclasses: Watch the experts at work while they give you a glimpse into their professions and practices. True understanding comes through action and the conference Masterclasses invite you into the process.
Sessions: One-on-one and small group mentoring sessions, studio sessions in the program’s state of the art recording suites, and opportunities to have your material heard and critiqued by publishers and A&R give you the chance to create both music and connections.
