Mission

To provide a music education conference for music educators, by music educators that is easily accessible to music educators around the world.

History

Founded in 2017 to provide ubiquitous access to professional learning by utilizing online platforms, the International Music Education Summit has been the premier online professional learning event for music educators worldwide.

In 2025 IMES is back with an exceptional and accessible online learning experience unlike any other.

As music educators we believe professional learning should be…

• Available without having to pay an additional membership fee

• Relevant to what we need now

• Practical and useful - easy to implement

• Taught by the worldwide leaders in each topic

• Totally accessible with just an internet connection

• Affordable

• Engaging and experiential

And we know this because we’re teachers ourselves. We do this because we are passionate about helping music educators build, manage, and grow thriving school music programs and have long and happy careers.
