Conference/Export Program

The ECMA team brings in buyers from all over the world to talk to, listen to, and hopefully work with our East Coast artists. The ECMA 2026 Conference - 'The Business of Music' will feature professional development sessions for artists and industry.

 

Conference Services and Ticket Scanning 

Conference services volunteers may be assisting with setting up rooms for workshops and panels, making sure that facilitators have everything they need, greeting participants and scanning passes or checking pre-registration lists, ensuring the sessions start and end on time, and helping with activities during the sessions (like handing out worksheets, passing microphones for audience questions, helping with music or video playback etc.)

Conference shifts are great for volunteers with an interest in learning about music industry topics. This role is managed by the Conference Manager.
