WAVEFRONT 2024 was a blast!

Thanks to everyone who sponsored, presented, helped plan and attended the first annual WAVEFRONT event! It was an unqualified success.

We welcomed eight local music tech companies who presented in front of a sold-out crowd, enjoyed a few drinks and some delicious food, and made more than a few meaningful connections throughout the evening’s festivities. 

Based on the overwhelmingly positive response from all involved, we are excited to announce that we have already begun planning for WAVEFRONT 2025. WATCH THIS SPACE!

In the meantime, enjoy the recap video below, and don’t hesitate to reach out if you are interested in being involved with next year’s event.

Onward!

For Minneapolis makers at the intersection of tech, art, music, and education

Conferences are costly. Networking is lame. Happy hours are fun, but often less than productive. So we built something different.

WAVEFRONT is a bespoke meeting of innovators, educators, entrepreneurs and artists, hosted in an environment purpose-built to facilitate the exchange of ideas and encourage community – amongst established and emerging talent alike. 

A rising tide lifts all boats

A wavefront is defined as an imaginary surface representing corresponding points of a wave that vibrate in unison; when waves are in phase they experience constructive interference.

Our goal is to provide exactly this environment – one in which our individual waves may oscillate into phase, build each other up – and in doing so, fortify a local scene which is exponentially more than the sum of its parts.

Join us on August 1st, 2024 at Improving Minneapolis.

WAVEFRONT is free to attend, but tickets are limited.

Food and beverages provided.

Thank You to Our Sponsors

Putting on this sort of thing is a big effort and, as they say, it takes a village. Thank you to each and every one of the organizations that contributed to bring WAVEFRONT 2024 to life.
