Join Us at the 2026 Jazz Educators Network Conference in New Orleans

The 2026 Jazz Educators Network Conference is just around the corner, taking place January 7–10 in New Orleans, Louisiana, at the Hyatt Regency New Orleans. This annual gathering brings together jazz educators, performers, and advocates for several days of music, learning, and connection in one of the world’s great jazz cities.

If you are attending JEN this year, we invite you to stop by Booth 415 to meet members of our team, including Robin Teague, Glenn Quirion, and Sean Boulware, and talk about jazz band performance tours designed specifically for jazz ensembles. From historic jazz capitals to emerging international scenes, we work closely with directors to create tours that balance outstanding performance opportunities with meaningful cultural exchange.

We are also proud to sponsor the JEN Founders Toast and Reception once again in 2026. This event has become a favorite moment of the conference and a great opportunity to gather with colleagues, celebrate the JEN community, and connect in a relaxed setting. We look forward to raising a glass with you and continuing our support of the organization and its mission.

For many years, we have partnered with high school and college jazz programs, community big bands, and professional ensembles to design custom performance tours around the world. Our approach is collaborative and detail-focused, combining deep experience in group travel with a strong understanding of what jazz ensembles need to thrive on tour.

Whether your goals include performing at an international jazz festival, collaborating with local musicians abroad, or exploring destinations with deep musical roots, our team is happy to share ideas and help you begin planning.

Be sure to stop by Booth 415 during the conference to connect, ask questions, and learn more about jazz-focused travel opportunities tailored to your ensemble.

The JEN Conference is a special opportunity to experience incredible performances, gain fresh perspectives, and spend time with peers who share your passion for jazz education. We look forward to seeing you in New Orleans and continuing the conversation.
