About NOLA MusiCon
NOLA MusiCon is where creativity, business, and community collide. Designed for independent artists, music professionals, and anyone passionate about the future of music, this three-day conference is all about breaking barriers and building connections that last.
Here, you’ll find a mix of thought-provoking panels, workshops, and showcases covering everything from music marketing and distribution to sync licensing, live performance, and career development. It’s a space where artists can learn directly from industry veterans, discover new tools to grow their careers, and get inspired by peers who are redefining what it means to make it in music today.
How To Prep 📚
Before the conference, it’s important you plan ahead. We recommend making a schedule of the events, workshops, and performances you want to attend so you can make the most of your time. In addition, be sure to bring all your networking and promotional essentials like business cards, a notebook, a pen, some merch items if you have ’em, demo CDs, or whatever else you think will help you make a lasting impression and perform your best.
Try to attend as many events as you can, and take notes you can look back on later. After the conference, make sure to follow up with all the cool people you connected with via email or socials. Speaking of socials, it won’t hurt to post about your experience and engage with other attendees who’re posting about it too. ⚡️
The more connections you make, the better!
