World's Largest Jazz Conference Returns To New York City

The International Association for Jazz Education (IAJE) returns to New York City, Jan. 11 - 14, 2006 for its 33rd Annual Conference. The Hilton New York and Sheraton New York Hotels will be the headquarters for the largest annual gathering of the global jazz community, with over 7,000 educators, musicians, industry executives, exhibitors, media and students from 35 countries expected to attend. New York is committed to host the conference again in 2007 and in 2010. IAJE heads north to Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 2008.

Education, teacher training and networking will be firmly at the heart of the conference agenda, combined with an impressive performance schedule. In addition, the conference will feature a 75,000 square-foot industry exposition, commission premieres, technology presentations, research papers, award ceremonies, and top school groups from Europe, Australia, Croatia, Peru, Israel, Canada, and the United States.

"It's a program suited for a city that has served as the vanguard of jazz for more than 50 years and is a reflection of how far IAJE has come as the association officially representing the jazz field," said IAJE Executive Director Bill McFarlin.
