About Jazz-Con
Jazz-Con is the premier global conference and virtual festival at the intersection of jazz, business, and innovation. Designed for artists, entrepreneurs, educators, executives, and jazz advocates, Jazz-Con brings together a dynamic international community for two immersive days of panels, keynotes, discussions, and virtual networking. Whether you're focused on career growth, industry trends, or creative collaboration, Jazz-Con offers a space where jazz meets strategy, and innovation drives opportunity.
With programming in English, Spanish, and Japanese, Jazz-Con reflects the global heartbeat of jazz culture today. Featuring live translations, international thought leaders, and topics ranging from touring and streaming to tech, metadata, education, and global market access, this isn't just a conference—it's a movement. Our virtual format welcomes participants from across continents, time zones, and backgrounds, uniting a worldwide jazz ecosystem in one shared digital space.
The theme for 2025, "Where the Future of Jazz Is Made," centers on what's next for the genre—and how we shape it together. Through curated sessions, open forums, and real-time Q&As, Jazz-Con challenges assumptions and sparks dialogue about sustainability, innovation, and equity in the jazz economy. We spotlight solutions, elevate new voices, and honor the creative resilience that defines this music.
Jazz-Con is co-produced by Jazz Metroplex in Dallas, TX and the Nu Jazz Agency in New York, NY, with support from artists, institutions, and presenters worldwide. Whether you're a seasoned professional or emerging talent, a business leader or fan—Jazz-Con is your place to connect, discover, and lead. Join us, and help build the next chapter of jazz.
