The International Music Summit 2026

Doubletree by Hilton Dallas Campbell Centre, Dallas, Texas.

Independent artists, music executives, educators, entrepreneurs, music enthusiasts, creatives, and Gospel artists attend the Summit.

Attendees include independent and emerging artists, executives from labels and management firms, music educators, entrepreneurs, creatives across the music industry, and Gospel artists.

It is most useful for independent artists, entrepreneurs and educators who want education and industry contacts in one place, since the three-day program was built around that mix of attendees, including Gospel artists. Senior executives at major labels or established dealmakers will likely get less, as the event is run by Back2BackPR Global and the only listed speaker was its founder Dr. Carol Crawford, with no large-label names in the facts.

Music business conferences usually see smart casual to stylish dress, with artists often in expressive outfits and executives in blazers, while Gospel artists may dress a little more formally. The hotel venue in Dallas is indoors, so a light layer for air conditioning is sensible.
