General Information on

Upcoming Conferences

During the upcoming academic year, TI:ME will present its Eighth Annual National Conference and will reach out to a new state with one of its Regional Conferences. In addition, TI:ME’s new State Chapters will enrich the technology offerings at their local MEA conferences by providing organizational information and presenting technology sessions.

As always, the TI:ME conferences will bring together the nation’s most outstanding music technology educators with leading music software developers, MIDI hardware manufacturers, and music technology merchants to present outstanding music technology conferences designed with the music curriculum in mind. TI:ME conferences cater to all levels of teacher comfort, from beginner to intermediate to advanced, and to all types of music technology applications (see PROPOSAL CATEGORIES below).

National Conferences include an intensive all-technology experience and generally offer 100 or more sessions.

TI:ME sessions are open to all music educators and interested musicians and consist of lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on training sessions. Opportunities abound to discuss music technology strategies and techniques with local and regional experts, as well as nationally recognized educators such as Tom Rudolph, David Mash, Dennis Mauricio, Floyd Richmond, Steven Estrella, and Dave Peters; with outstanding corporate representatives such as Lee Whitmore, Tom Johnson, Larry Marchese, and representatives from Shure, Yamaha, eMedia, Technics, ECS, plus many others; and with outstanding guest speakers.

We look forward to seeing you at one or more of these extraordinary conferences whether you are new to TI:ME or a seasoned music technology veteran. We work AROUND THE CLOCK for you!
