This past year's conference was attended by over 800 industry professionals and artists (a 20% increase from the previous year) and featured a keynote address by Dee Dee Bridgewater, recently named a NEA Jazz Master.

The Grammy-award winning bandleader/composer/arranger Maria Schneider will give the keynote address at the 2017 Jazz Connect Conference.  Christian McBride will receive the Bruce Lundvall Visionary Award, for his efforts in expanding the audience for jazz.
