In the alternate years to the world conference, ISME hosts or partners with a number of regional conferences for music education and educators.

The conferences for 2021 are now beiing confirmed and can be found the Current Events page.

Regional conferences are much smaller than the world conference, often conducted in the local language/s and more focussed on addressing the specific needs of the local communities. They are open to non ISME members, but ISME members receive a discount on the registration fee.
