Peer Sessions

Donate

Our Peer Sessions provide the space and opportunity for folks who work in specific sectors of the folk music industry to get together to share experiences, practices, and insights, and foster community.

Peer Session Week: May 16-18, 2023

This May, we have a full lineup of virtual Peer Sessions for folks to choose from! All are free and open to anyone in the community (you do not need to be an FAI member to attend).
Please note: these sessions are intended specifically for folks who work in a particular sector of the folk music industry – these are not intended as pitch sessions – so we kindly request that you only sign up for those conversations that align with your specific professional role/roles.
