Midwest Music Expo - DECATUR, IL

2019 marked the first conference, founded by Martin Atkins and operated by Millikin University’s music business students. Since then, Atkins has continued to curate the conference and guides students to bring it to life. In May 2020, MmX pivoted online and launched the first-ever scratch-and-sniff virtual conference. It continued throughout that year with weekly online sessions, a full virtual conference in 2021, and returned to in-person programming in May 2022. Since then, the conference has been held in both Decatur and Chicago, and has only continued to grow.

Now in its 6th year and 8th iteration, MmX is a music industry conference with a deep focus on the midwest music scene and the communities that shape it. It draws equally on local leaders and international experts to deliver compelling panels, thoughtful discussions, inspiring keynotes, and new connections.

Rooted in a punk-rock, DIY, hard work, no-nonsense, get-things-done mentality, this year's conference will spark creativity and connection throughout the Midwest region.

This year's Decatur conference features:

• 20 Speakers on interactive panels
• 20 artists across 2 stages
• 20+ Vendors at the Marketplace and Expo
• Guitar Pedal Exchange (PedalX)
• Enter to win a FREE turntable
• + More!
