Conn Selmer Institute
Bringing CSI to You!
2025 Regional Events
Under the leadership of Tim Lautzenheiser, Conn Selmer Institute (CSI) began 27 years ago as a professional development conference for future and current music educators. It has now grown to five regional events across the US with the same purpose - to connect current music educators, college students, and fine arts administrators with world-class professional development and support.
We are excited to offer five distinct Conn Selmer Institute events, each tailored to meet the specific needs of music educators in your region. Explore the list of CSI 2025 Events below and mark your calendars! More details will be shared soon, so be sure to check back often for updates—and don’t forget to spread the word!

On this special day, attendees will venture off-campus and choose from a variety of exciting activities. Pick your adventure!
- **Conn Selmer Factory Tour**: Dive into the rich history of musical craftsmanship with a guided tour of the iconic Conn Selmer Factory. See the intricate process of crafting world-renowned instruments up close. Tours will be offered in the morning and afternoon, limited to the first 50 participants.
- **Historic Conn Mansion Luncheon**: Enjoy a gourmet lunch in the elegant and timeless Conn Mansion. Step back in time while savoring a delightful meal at this historic landmark. Due to space limitations, the luncheon is limited to the first 50 registrants, and we kindly ask that those who attended in 2024 allow others the chance to participate this year.
