Nashville Summit 2026

Join us for the MMF-US Nashville Summit, an all-day, in-person gathering at The MLC’s offices on Friday, April 17. This curated event brings together artist managers, self-managed artists, and music industry professionals for a full day of keynote conversations, panels, presentations, and networking.

Designed to inform, connect, and inspire, the Summit offers valuable insights from leading voices across the business, along with meaningful opportunities to engage with peers and partners. Attendees will also receive follow-up materials, tools, and resources to support their work beyond the event.

We’re also excited to announce a featured keynote conversation, Own the Fan: Rewriting the Playbook with Alexandra Kay, Beth Keith & Andreea Gleeson.

KEYNOTE: OWN THE FAN
In a landscape where algorithms change overnight, ownership is everything. Alexandra Kay and her manager Beth Keith sit down with Andreea Gleeson to break down how they’ve turned millions of followers into a high-converting, career-defining fanbase, fueling chart success, sold-out tours, and a multi-dimensional business beyond the music itself. From data-driven decisions to direct fan relationships, this conversation pulls back the curtain on the strategies redefining what it means to build and own a modern music career.

This year’s program will explore key topics including Know Your Rights, Amplifying Impact: Driving Social Change Through Music, Music Managers: The New Power Brokers, From Commissions to Capital: How Artist Managers Access Growth Funding, and The Business Behind the Artist: Infrastructure, Income, and the Modern Team.

The Summit includes representatives from The MLC, Sound Royalties, KOSIGN, Artist Growth, Music Services (SESAC), AGA (Andreea Gleeson Advisory), Sony Music Publishing, Red Light Management, Neon Coast, Sound Talent Group, Black Opry, Road Recovery, Backstage Strategies, The BAM Group, Queer Capita, and more.

Whether you're building your roster, navigating today’s evolving landscape, or expanding your network, this is a must-attend event.
