As part of our continuing efforts to serve the music industry and its creators, Billboard Pro now features a music industry events calendar for readers.
The calendar will act as music’s most complete summary major national and international industry events, from conferences to festivals to networking mixers and more. Just as Billboard is music’s must-read source for news, charts and analysis, now it also is the go-to for business happenings.
