Apple's Chicago Music Industry Summit
#chicagomusicsummit #todayatapple
I co-curated and produced Apple’s Chicago Music Industry Summit in 2018 and 2019 as a way to further support the city’s music community. Although Chicago has seen an influx of creatives over the last few years, the city lacks the business infrastructure and acumen to support its growing music and entertainment industries. In collaboration with Apple Music and Today at Apple, the Summit aims to uplift and further build the city’s arts and music communities by providing educational and networking opportunities through a number of engaging labs, workshops, and performances.
In its second year, the Music Summit attempted to bridge the gap between other midwestern cities by including creative voices from St. Louis, Milwaukee, and Detroit. The Summit also expanded its message to high-profile stores in New York and London.
