THE MUSIC INDUSTRY: HOW TO NOT GET PLAYED LIKE AN IDIOTA
"Major music events like the 9th Annual Latin Alternative Music Conference draw music fans from around the world to New York City," said Mayor Michael Bloomberg. "Through the work of the Latin Media and Entertainment Commission, New York has been able to attract and retain major Latin events generating millions in economic activity for our city. As we continue to showcase the talent and rich cultural diversity of Nueva York, hosting events like the LAMC helps us as we stake our claim as the Latin media and entertainment capital of the world."
With past conferences averaging more than 1,250 music industry attendees and 25,000 concert fans each year, LAMC 2008 promises to be an exciting year yet again. This multi-day conference provides networking opportunities with the genre's leading artists, label executives, journalists, marketers, managers, retailers and programmers. It is the most extensive Latin music conference to date. LAMC will be returning for its second year in Mexico City and Buenos Aires on September 5th and September 22th-24th, respectively.
