Folk North Program

  

 

Presented by Folk Music Ontario, Folk Music Canada and Folk Alliance International, the 2019 Folk North Program (formerly known as the Export Development Program) assists folk musicians and businesses in accessing new markets in Canada, USA, UK and Australia and more markets by bringing more than 20 delegates (festival ADs, presenters, agents, music supervisors, etc.) to the Folk Music Ontario conference.

Folk North delegates are matched with more than 50 participating artists for one-on-one meetings, mentoring and networking receptions. In addition to these closed events, Export Development Program delegates are available throughout the conference as they attend networking events and led panels focusing on export topics.
