The annual Folk Alliance International Conference is the world's largest gathering of the folk music industry and community, drawing 2,900 artists and industry (agents, managers, publishers, labels, festival/venue presenters, promoters, media) from 48 countries.

The Texas Music Office has hosted Texas talent for the last three years in both official and intimate private showcases and will do so again at the next conference in New Orleans.
