Jade Music Festival is a global music industry conference being held in the beautiful city of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. JMF’s inaugural year (2022) goal is to present a majority of Chinese language artists from Canada, in the hopes of giving the Chinese language speaking Canadians the representation and equal opportunities in the Canadian and international music industry they very much deserve. 

We want to let Canada and the world know that in the years to come we wish to expand into more underrepresented language groups and the IBPOC communities, as well as host the Jade Music Awards show. This is in honour of these groups’ contribution to the overall Canadian and international music industry.

In 2022, we at JMF aim to showcase our creative industry objectives with conferences featuring a variety of panels, workshops, and networking opportunities for professionals and budding artists in the Canadian Chinese language entertainment industry. We want to share and increase the sharing of information and panel discussions of music and business opportunities. Topics such as innovation, marketing, branding, entrepreneurship, tourism, and technology will be in the forefront. We will also tackle hard-pressing social topics such as women in music and underrepresented languages to create a sense of global unity around our ideas of how the music industry as well as our societies are evolving around us. 

We believe in creating synergies between industries, and bringing people together that otherwise might never have crossed paths, or had the opportunity. Through sharing insights and strategies, life experiences and perspectives, new ideas and collaborations, witness how creative industries of tomorrow may emerge.

Thank you from all of us at Jade Music Festival and SWACT (The Society of We Are Canadians Too).
