About Us

MONO (formerly Music Expo) is an organization dedicated to serving aspiring music makers.

Founded in 2014, MONO has become an essential gathering for music creators. Today MONO expands its into year-round live experiences with humans at the center of creativity.

Since it started in 2014, MONO has consistently served as an essential gathering for both emerging and established artists, producers, songwriters, engineers, and creative professionals. Known for its friendly atmosphere, inclusivity, and impact on attendees' music careers, including collaborations and revenue growth.

Over the years, our programming has covered all facets of creativity, artist development, and new technologies through hands-on sessions, career development opportunities, and impactful networking experience. We’re proud to have fostered productive collaborations that have led to career breakthroughs, expanded revenue streams, and even Grammy wins for some of our attendees.

Diversity and Inclusion:

Music is universal, and so is our mission. Since 2017, we have actively championed diversity in the industry, committing to having at least one-third of our presenters be women—a first in the industry. Today, women represent 28% of our attendees, more than any other music conference, and 66% of our audience is under 34, reflecting the next generation of music creators.

Looking Forward:

As we evolve alongside the music industry, we remain committed to serving the needs of independent artists and creative professionals. With over 20 conferences, 300+ presenters, and 550 hours of programming to date, we’re poised to keep driving the conversation around the future of music.

Today, we’re exploring how AI is revolutionizing music creation and discovery, how immersive audio is transforming live experiences, and how Web 3.0 and blockchain technologies are reshaping the relationship between artists and fans.
