The conference was established with one goal in mind, to focus the national and international music industry and related press on the Mid-Atlantic music market while providing a platform for the areas musicians and artists to gain exposure, be heard, and be educated in the business of music.
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.
