Got a great programming idea? We want to hear it! Programming proposals are now open for the 29th Annual Folk Alliance International Conference in Chicago, January 27-31, 2027. Submit a proposal here: https://www.folk.org/conference/programming-proposals

Our goal is to present conference programming that is relevant to and reflective of our members and the wider folk music community. Sessions may take many forms, including a solo presentation, case study, panel discussion, interview, workshop, master class, or sing-along. 75 minutes in length.

Programming submissions will be accepted June 18 – July 23, 2026 at 11:59 PM CT. Applicants will be notified of their submission status by August 27, 2026.

We invite you to submit your most creative and thoughtful ideas. Please be as specific as possible—focusing on clear aspects of your topic helps create a stronger and more engaging learning experience for conference attendees. Folk Alliance focuses programming into four tracks: artists, industry, presenter, and community/theme.

Folk Alliance International initiated a proposal to the GRAMMYs to re-establish the Traditional Folk Album award and reclassify the current Folk Album award as Contemporary Folk Album. So many members of our Folk Alliance community were instrumental in supporting this initiative.

We are thrilled to announce that the new category has been accepted, and it will be a part of the 69th Annual GRAMMY Awards!
