The EAS Annual Conference aims to provide a stimulating meeting place for all those interested in music education.

On each occasion the conference takes place in a different country in agreement with a specific institution or organisation with which EAS has a link through an EAS member who is the Conference coordinator.

Each conference has a chosen theme and an invitation is sent out via email, flyers and the website, inviting submissions to the programme. Conferences usually have a 3 day programme with sessions planned throughout each day and evening.

The programme comprises:

• Practical workshops offering professional development and sharing of practice
• Research papers
• Symposia & round tables with special thematic focus
  
• Reports of projects, events and initiatives
• Forums for specific groups: e.g. National Coordinators, Students teachers, doctoral students and National Associations
• EAS general Meeting
• Concerts and Resource Exhibitions
