ABOUT CANADIAN SONG CONFERENCE
Music PEI will present the 2027 Canadian Song Conference from May 19th – 21st, 2027. This will be the 13th anniversary of this conference which explores creating multiple revenue streams and songwriting. In today’s music industry, it is challenging to develop a sustainable career and creating as many revenue streams as possible is critical to achieving that. Those revenue streams include licensing, royalties, publishing, streaming, syncs, label deals, and merch sales. The CSC attempts to take some of the mystery out of these opportunities.

In addition to the panels, Music PEI has created the Listening Sessions, opportunities for PEI artists to present their recorded music to the delegates in a business development opportunity. Delegates recruited for the event include music supervisors, publishers, labels, PRO’s, social platforms and more.

INCLUSIVITY STATEMENT
Music PEI is committed to building a more inclusive and equitable music industry. We recognize that the Canadian music sector has historically excluded many voices—particularly those of Indigenous peoples, Black communities, people of colour, women, 2SLGBTQ+ individuals, newcomers, and people with disabilities. These inequities continue to impact who is heard, seen, and supported in our industry.

We are actively working to change that.

We strongly encourage applications from individuals who identify as members of equity-deserving communities. If you meet most of the qualifications and feel passionate about our work, we want to hear from you—even if your experience doesn’t match every requirement.

Note: Due to the requirements from our funder for this position, applicants must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents.
