To kick things off, our 2024 conference offers virtual programs beginning on Sunday, Sept. 22 (virtual through the 25th), so that no matter where in the world you may be, you can still join us! Then we gather in Chicago on Friday, Sept. 27 in person to learn from one another and celebrate the joy that is children's music.
Our CMN annual conference is now over 30 years old!! Every year it gets bigger and better, creating many opportunities for performers, educators, songwriters, librarians, and families to come together. We connect and reconnect and fill our hearts with laughter and song by sharing songs, ideas, resources and information.
Highlights:

Scholars' Award ceremonies Connection, Connection, Connection And as an exciting extra, this year, we have collaborated with Old Town School of Folk Music to create a special Friday before the Conference officially kicks off.
