Run by digital music distribution company CD Baby, the DIY Musician Conference treats musicians as creators, with tons of workshops on how to do the hard work to be successful as an independent musician. It’s very action-oriented, with panels on everything from how to brand yourself as an artist to how to get sync spots, and more. It also usually includes fun community activities like open mic nights, mentorship sessions, and even jam rooms. It’s a great choice for artists who want control over their careers. (There’s also a DIY Musician Conference Europe, which sounds like a wonderful excuse to spend some time in Valencia, Spain.)
