International Indigenous Music Summit 2023

We're thrilled to announce that registration is officially open for the 2023 International Indigenous Music Summit (IIMS) - our first ever, standalone, in-person event taking place from May 31-June 4, 2023 in Toronto, Ontario! The gathering and showcases will take place at the historic Massey Hall and recently-launched expanded live music hub, Allied Music Centre.

IIMS is the only global event solely dedicated to creating awareness, sharing resources, and building opportunities for the Indigenous music community. Produced by the Indigenous Music Alliance (IMA), IIMS seeks to amplify and empower Indigenous artists and industry through ceremony, connection, inspiration and dialogue; and fosters opportunities that create and deepen relationships in ally communities and across mainstream industry. 

The 2023 conference theme is "Generations Strong" and will feature 5 days of in-person programming including a Welcome to Land Ceremony and Community Feast, daytime Elder teachings, panels and community roundtable discussions, as well as evening and late night showcases featuring over 40 incredible Indigenous artists from around the world.
