4th Annual Southeast Urban Music Conference Celebrates Black Music Month in Atlanta June 14th-17th 2006
The 4th Annual SUMC Southeast Urban Music Conference is set for June 14th-17th 2006, as a celebratory tribute to Black Music Month. The Wyndham Hotel Downtown will act as host again for the 2006 conference and its participants. Atlanta definitely has the bragging rights when it comes to networking opportunities in the music industry. If you look at the Billboard charts, you will see the south and especially ATL are well represented, says conference chairman, Tony Baraka.
The 2005 SUMC registration boasted over 1500 participants and offered a variety of informative seminars focused on achieving success in the business of urban entertainment. Attendees included; artists, producers, managers, promotions professionals all hoping to learn more about the business from industry pros, and vying to network with some of the todays hottest talent.
Tony Baraka, SUMC Conference Chairman is certain attendees wont be disappointed with next years itinerary. Weve planned power packed seminars with information on distribution, how to secure sponsorships for touring, etc. The A&R and music publishing panels are sure to be invaluable to up and coming artists, writers and producers. And we have a whole list of other informative panels for those involved in management and promotions.
Our Night Of Stars will be returning as well as our First Annual Awards & Dinner Showcase Ten Atlanta Entertainment Icons will be honored who have contributed to the Atlanta music scene over the last 15 years. There will also be a whole day just for Independent labels called Independence Day. Seminars showcases and receptions all for Independent Labels and many other surprises, Baraka says.
Past conference sponsors such as Heineken, BME Recordings, Warner Brothers, LOD Record Breakers, Akadimiks and All Hip Hop.Com aided in making the 2005 conference a huge success. Baraka expressed immense gratitude to those sponsors and also the participating record labels along with DTP, Universal, EMI, DefJam, Capitol, BMG, Jive, Warner Brothers and Sobe entertainment. Baraka insists that the artists are always the highlight of the conference. We had Rasheeda, Boyz In Tha Hood, Bone Crusher, DJ Toomp, Cruna, Leela James, Tango Redd , Playa Circle and many other up and coming artists. Those artists pitched in and made the 2005 conference a major event. We look forward to a bigger and more celebratory SUMC in 2006.
