It’s all happening at the Congress Plaza Hotel: September 30 – October 2.

Tickets for CD Baby’s 2016 DIY Musician Conference are going fast. Join us in Chicago for three days and take your career to that next level — all for less than a hundred bucks.

We’ve got 24 unique sessions on the schedule, all packed with actionable advice you can take home and put to work. Plus, you can look forward to one-on-one mentoring, strategy-driven workshops, and an extended exhibit hall featuring our sponsors and partners.

This year we’re excited to include:

The jam room

Artists were breaking out into jam sessions everywhere last year, and we want to see more of it! This year we’re adding a room for just that purpose.

Tom Jackson’s Live-Band Makeover

Tom Jackson gave a live makeover to a lucky band last year, and the people demanded even more. We’re giving Tom an extended time slot this year, and you won’t want to miss it! For a primer, check out this recent episode of the DIY Musician Podcast with guest Tom Jackson talking about the 4 pillars of a successful live performance.

Free band photos

Need a new, professional band photo, or just want to have some fun? We’ll be providing free, professional band photos for those in attendance.

Tickets are on sale right now for only $99. Get yours before they’re gone!

We’ve also got hotel accommodations hooked up for the event at a special rate of $159 a night (offer good through September 15th, 2016).

Hope to see you in Chicago!
