The deadline for submitting panel ideas is August 30, 2024, and the notification date for accepted entries will be September 24, 2024.
“Jazz Congress has uniquely brought together the global jazz community,” said Georgina Javor, Vice President, Concerts and Touring at Jazz at Lincoln Center. “Expanding the conference to a two-day event provides more opportunities for jazz musicians, educators, presenters, and industry figures to forge new connections and share insight. We’re looking forward to bringing the global community together again to engage in ideas and with each other.”
