Music Cities Convention Alberta
15 - 17 September 2021
Event theme: Scaling Up Music Cities: Cultivating the Future of Alberta
The first Canadian and 10th global edition of Music Cities Convention will take place in the cities of Edmonton & Calgary, Canada, and is presented alongside West Anthem, the National Music Centre, and Alberta Music.
This will be the first-ever hybrid edition of Music Cities Convention, with 35+ speakers and 400+ delegates attending live from Calgary and Edmonton, and virtually from all around the world.
This event will also mark the first time Music Cities Convention is held concurrently in two different cities.
A top-class event platform and unique locations in Calgary and Edmonton will allow Alberta delegates to attend from their preferred city, whilst giving national and international representatives the opportunity to enjoy an exciting virtual experience.
At the moment, in-person tickets are only available to Alberta residents, although we are hoping to release further in-person tickets for national and international attendees in the near future and welcome the global music community to Alberta. See our ticket page for more information.
