Hudson Valley Music Summit 2026 is scheduled for November 21.

The summit takes place at Chappaqua Performing Arts Center in Chappaqua, New York.

The organizer names music industry professionals, including musicians, managers, agents, promoters, record labels, producers, publicists, and media.

It is most useful for independent artists, managers, and small label or promotion staff in the Northeast, since the speakers include people from Thirty Tigers, Secretly Distribution, Bearsville Theater, The Capitol Theatre, and music attorneys, which gives access to booking, distribution, and legal contacts. Executives at major labels or large publishers would get less from it, as it is a single-day regional event focused on the independent side of the business.

Music industry professionals at independent conferences usually dress in smart casual, such as jeans with a jacket or a band tee, with stylish but comfortable shoes.
