Chicago House Music Festival & Conference
Chicago's house music scene birthed a global movement, and this festival brings that legacy front and center with performances that'll have you understanding why this city remains the genre's beating heart. You'll move between main-stage sets and intimate panel discussions where the actual architects of house music break down how four-on-the-floor became four-on-the-world, then network with producers, DJs, and obsessives who actually live this.
