Copyright can be one of the least visible parts of making music, but it affects almost every decision after the work is created.
Last week, 2112 hosted Women in Music Chicago for a session with Michelle Wahl on music copyright, covering ownership, registration, rights, collaborators, and the mistakes creators often run into when the business side is handled too late.
Proud to partner with Women in Music Chicago as they celebrate 10 years of supporting and connecting Chicago’s music community.
Thank you to Michelle, Women in Music Chicago, and everyone who joined us.

So much good energy in one room.
Last night, World Business Chicago and 2112 brought together creatives, builders, and community leaders who care deeply about this city and what it can become.
The conversations felt thoughtful, real, and purposeful. More than anything, the night showed how momentum starts in Chicago: with people sharing ideas, making real connections, and showing up for each other.
Grateful to everyone who came out and helped make the night feel so special. We’re just getting started.

Chicago to Galway 🤝
A meaningful one for me.
Last summer, 2112 Creative Industries Incubator × CREW launched a partnership connecting our creative ecosystems.
Next up: EDGE26.
I’ll be sharing what it actually looks like to build from the ground up, in my own work and what I’ve seen up close at 2112, and through working with founders across music tech, film, brands, and IP driven businesses. What’s working, what isn’t, and what it takes to grow beyond your local scene.
My path:
Musician → curator → program director → founder.
Not linear, but real.
Proud to rep 2112 and Chicago.
Thanks to Scott Fetters + Niamh Costello for the opportunity
See you in a month!
2112 and CCE hosted yesterday’s LCA Music and Band Law Conference.
This dynamic convening brought together musicians, band managers, and attorneys for an afternoon of practical learning and meaningful connection. Designed to meet the real-world needs of today’s working bands and musicians, the conference will offered in-depth sessions on the legal and business issues that shape a band’s success, both on stage and behind the scenes. Sessions were tailored for practicing musicians and music industry professionals, with dedicated programming for attorneys.
The evening concluded with a reception, providing space to connect with fellow artists, legal professionals, and industry leaders.

Last night we kicked off our SXSW journey at @2112chi , bringing together Chicagoans heading to Austin in March.
SXSW veterans Ted Velie, Ari Krzyzek, and Justin Sinkovich shared their best advice: come prepared but stay flexible, pre-connect on LinkedIn, lean into genuine connections, and remember that SXSW is where you feel the world's trends converging.
Attendees sampled from Nouvie, Chykalophia, Catan Pisco, International Cafe, and Cafe Tola — all Chicago-made. The energy in the room reflected what we're bringing to Austin: a city full of creators, founders, and innovators ready to show that Chicago is Made for Y'all.
Thank you to 2112 for hosting. See you at Midwest House on March 13-14 for Chicago Day — link in bio for more!
Immersive technologies like virtual reality are reshaping exercise by turning workouts into interactive, game-like experiences that prioritize engagement and enjoyment. Instead of following repetitive routines, users enter virtual environments where their bodies become the controllers – punching, squatting, lunging, or dancing to progress through challenges. VR fitness programs such as rhythm-based games, boxing simulations, and guided workouts place users in visually rich settings, from futuristic arenas to scenic landscapes, which helps reduce boredom and lowers perceived exertion. Research shows that many of these experiences reach moderate to vigorous intensity levels comparable to traditional cardio, while participants often report feeling less fatigued because their attention is focused on gameplay rather than effort.
Last night’s The Next Evolution event featured @virtualroundballers and @darkartssoftware ’s Trip the Light showcasing Immersive Technology In Exercise And Workout Routine.
