Coming in March: Information for the 2021 Wisconsin State Music Conference
Mark your calendar for October 27-29, 2021!
2020 Wisconsin State Music Conference
With safety in mind for all who are involved, WMEA has made the careful decision to postpone the Wisconsin State Music Conference until October 2021.
Instead, WMEA, in collaboration with WSMA, will present the “2020 Wisconsin State Virtual Music Conference” – a special professional learning and networking experience that will be made possible through technology, enabling music educators, exhibitors and others to come together virtually amidst social distancing restrictions resulting from COVID-19. The “2020 Wisconsin State Virtual Music Conference” will deliver a unique experience by offering a one-week, all-virtual event (tentatively October 25-31).
Through digital delivery of this event, WMEA and WSMA will bring the music education community together under the theme “Vision 2020: The Future is Now” to make a strong difference in the professional lives of music educators and the students they teach.
Watch for more exhibiting details to come this summer or contact us with questions.
NOTE: The remainder of this page no longer applies to our 2020 event. In order to help exhibitors plan for the 2021 conference, the information will remain available.
All exhibitors enjoy free listings, but we offer additional advertising opportunities to support marketing strategy and distinguish your organization at conference. Elevate your organization’s exposure by considering the options below.
Contact us to learn more about your options to make an impact, or simply reserve your spot now. Checks, MasterCard and Visa are all accepted by the online registration system.

Customize Your Landing Page
Customize Your Landing Page
Your exhibit package includes both a link from the WMEA website and your web address printed in the conference program. Be sure to customize your landing page to display a targeted message. Instead of listing your website as “www.example.com,” create a new page for attendees and list it as “www.example.com/wmea” or “www.example.com/NAfME” to ensure they see your best products!
WMEA will charge nothing for linking to your custom page, and you’ll greet traffic with a targeted, easily updated message of your own design. It’s a simple way to get the most out of your participation. No cost – handled by your own webmaster.

In-Kind Opportunities
In-Kind Opportunities
Not all promotional opportunities involve a hard cost! In many instances, the most visible opportunity is to allow WMEA to shine the spotlight on what your company does best. WMEA is in need of material support for its conference. Areas of special need always include:
- Lanyards for attendees – with your logo on them! (Contact us before July 31)
- Shuttle services for attendees
- Instruments (pianos, keyboards, percussion, large string instruments; delivery and on-site maintenance)
- Support equipment (risers, stands, acoustic shells; delivery; installation)
