Dates have just been announced for the upcoming Alberta Music Cities Convention! September 15-17 will see global policymakers, music industry professionals, academics, and city leaders meet in Calgary and Edmonton, as well as virtually, for the 10th edition of Music Cities Convention (@musiccitiesevents), the largest and most extensive global gathering on the topic of music cities. Hosted alongside @westanthemab, @nmc_canada and @alberta_music, the three-day event, follows the 2020 publication of the West Anthem Music Ecosystem Study in October 2020, and will provide a stage to further the conversation around music’s pivotal role in cities, something the host organizations have been advocating for years. Featuring two full convention days and a carefully curated line-up of international speakers, Music Cities Convention will tackle some of the challenges highlighted in the 2020 report and provide solutions to advance the music ecosystem in Alberta, as well as in other cities and places around the world. The National Music Centre and West Anthem successfully bid on this international convention that comes to the province at a time of tremendous opportunity. This is the first Canadian and tenth global edition of the Music Cities Convention, with previous editions hosted in the US, UK, Germany, Australia, China, and South Korea. Alberta residents are invited to attend the event in person in the city of their choice, while out-of-province and international delegates will be able to join the event online thanks to a top-class event platform. Tickets and more information on the 10th global Music Cities Convention available at the link in bio. You can also tune into an Instagram Live Stream from the National Music Centre's Instagram page on Wednesday, June 2 at 10 am MST to hear from some of the event hosts ahead of the event
