HITS HOME, A New Global Music Conference, To Debut In Nashville In 2026 [Exclusive]

A new global music conference, HITS HOME, will launch April 19-21, 2026, at Virgin Hotels Nashville and venues across Music City.

Positioned as a gathering point for the music industry’s future, the event aims to reconnect the business with its purpose, people and creative roots. With the tagline “Where music’s future meets its feeling,” HITS HOME plans to honor Nashville’s legacy as a creative hub while embracing its expanding cultural influence and forward-looking vision.

The name HITS HOME nods both to Nashville’s tradition of producing chart-topping hits and to the emotional resonance of music that connects. Delegates from the U.S. and international markets will gather for keynotes, case studies, cross-sector discussions and live performances designed to blend industry insight with the human side of music careers.

HITS HOME is curated and produced by Nashville-based jump.global, a professional development community and event services company focused exclusively on the music industry.

“The first time I came to Nashville, I felt the heartbeat of a city that lives through music—and that feeling never left me. It’s what inspired HITS HOME. We want to bring that same energy to the global industry: one that’s connected, inspired, and rooted in the passion that drives our work,” says Nick Maiale, Founder of jump.global. “Nashville’s more important than ever as a global music city and we’re excited to welcome the world to our home.”

HITS HOME’s founding partner is Beatdapp, a leader in streaming fraud detection. Additional confirmed sponsors include ONErpm, Genni, Concord, Music Services (A SESAC Music Group Company), Single Music, Vevo, and Arc Business Management.

Badges go on sale Monday, Nov. 17. Program details will be announced in early 2026.
