Over the past 4 years the conference has consistently brought together more industry executives, artists, musicians, student’s and other related industry insiders than all other events of its type combined. While other national music conferences are focusing on becoming festivals, the Mid-Atlantic Music Conference continues to focus on providing the best networking, education and performance opportunities for artists and bands in the market.

The networking and educational portion of the conference has brought together key figures in the music industry and have included entertainment attorneys, publishers, songwriters, major and independent label executives, distributors, marketing specialist’s, major music websites, booking agents, print media and radio representatives. All of whom have shared valuable advice to well attended interactive panels.
Past participants have included executives from major and independent record labels including Sony/BMG, J-Records, Universal, BME, Interscope, SoSo Def, and Arista as well as film and video game companies such as Southern Tip Films, The Charlotte Regional Film Commission, Film Music Network and GRS Games, makers of the SIMS.

This year, performance space will be even more valuable and limited.
Our 2005 “Road to the Mid-Atlantic Music Conference” live music performance series included more than 200 live performances in 15 cities as we searched for the best talent the market had to offer to showcase at the conference. In 2006, the series began in February with Atlantic Records Hip Hop Summit, held on the beautiful campus of North Carolina Central University located in Durham, North Carolina. The next stop on the road was Charlotte in March for the 1st Southeast Community Music Fest where R&B Grammy Nominated Artist, Anthony Hamilton, a Charlotte native received the Achievement of the Year Award.
The goal of this live performance series is to find the best artist and bands in the mid-atlantic market and showcase that talent to the music industry.
