HITS HOME debuted in Nashville last week with three days of programming at Nashville’s Virgin Hotel. The event hosted over 300 attendees from more than 10 countries.
The three-day experience began with a “Welcome Home Party” on Sunday evening sponsored by genni and Concord. Monday was filled with segments, talks and live music, before concluding Tuesday with a rooftop brunch and self-directed “house visits” across offices in Nashville.
The event hosted conversations with Warner Records Nashville’s Cris Lacy, Neon Coast’s Martha Earls, Riveter Management’s Charlene Bryant, Primary Wave’s Lexi Todd, A2IM’s Ian Harrison and Billboard‘s Kristin Robinson, among others. Throughout the programming, guests enjoyed performances from Nashville-based artists including Kat Luna, dominique., Iris Copperman and Restless Road, as well as Finn Forster from the UK, Muryel from Berlin, Germany, and Beau Shearer from Australia.
“We intentionally blurred the line between conversation and experience – bringing together industry dialogue, live performances, comedy, and moments no one saw coming. The result felt less like a conference and more like a home. The surprises – from day-of programming reveals to flash-mob energy – created a sense of shared discovery you can’t replicate on a run-of-show. And that feeling is the point. It’s exactly why HITS HOME will return to Nashville in 2027,” says Nick Maiale, Founder of HITS HOME & jump.global. “HITS HOME will always be rooted here – we’re proud to continue shining a light on Nashville’s music culture while welcoming voices and perspectives from around the world.”
