CPMS Summit
The Central Pennsylvania Music Hall of Fame will launch the 2026 Central Pennsylvania Music Summit, a one-day professional development and workforce development event designed to empower, connect, and amplify musicians, music industry professionals, educators, students, and creative entrepreneurs across Pennsylvania. Immediately following will be a professional juried Youth Music Showcase.
Scheduled for November 8, 2026, at The Englewood in Hummelstown, Pennsylvania, the event will provide direct access to industry experts, educational resources, career development opportunities, and professional networking designed to strengthen Central Pennsylvania's music ecosystem.
Programming will include educational sessions and panel discussions focused on topics such as musician wellness and mental health, artificial intelligence, entertainment law, music business fundamentals and more.
The project will feature partnerships with nationally recognized organizations including The Recording Academy (the parent organization to the GRAMMYs), Music for Everyone, MusiCares, and Behind the Scenes. Representatives from these organizations will discuss musician support services.
The Central Pennsylvania Music Summit represents a unique opportunity to strengthen workforce development, increase visibility for our music scene, and foster meaningful connections between emerging talent, established professionals, educators, and industry support organizations.
