New Nautics Music Conference & Expo is a multi-genre, technology-forward music conference in Chicago designed to connect artists, creators, and entrepreneurs with education, monetization, and career pathways.

Unlike traditional music conferences, New Nautics integrates live performance, business education, emerging technology, and direct access to platforms, brands, and decision-makers into one unified ecosystem.

The event also includes a dedicated Youth Day — a free, supervised program focused on early career exploration and workforce awareness for students interested in music, media, and technology.
