LAMC has also announced its panel topics and themes for 2007. Among the panels (being held at The Roosevelt Hotel), which feature many industry heavy hitters, are:
-DIGI-LANDIA: The Growth & Landscape of Latin Digital Music Sales
-Selecting the Music: How Programmers, Marketers and Music Supervisors Make Their Decisions
-Changing of the Guard: Latin Alternative’s New Media Supporters
-Class of ’97 Reunion: A Look Back at the Last Ten Years in Latin Alternative Music
-This Is Radio Clash: Are Satellite, Online, Public, Bilingual & Podcast Radio Formats the Future of Latin Alternative Broadcasting?
With a warm welcome from the Big Apple, the biggest event in the world for cutting edge Latin music will return to New York July 10th – 14th. Discounted early bird registration for LAMC, presented by MTV Tr3s, is available for only $249 at www.LatinAlternative.com (rate expires on June 1st). Featuring leading artists as well as many of the music industry’s most prominent decision-makers, the eighth annual LAMC is a “must play” event for developing and established acts alike. Of the six artists recently spotlighted in Time Magazine’s recent “6 Sizzling CD’s from South of the Border” Latin Grammy feature, five of the acts had played LAMC before they went on to achieve wider commercial success.
With past conferences averaging more than 1250 music industry attendees and 25,000 concert fans each year, LAMC 2007 promises to be an exciting year. This four-day conference providing networking opportunities with the genre’s leading artists, label executives, journalists, marketers, managers, retailers and programmers, is the most extensive to be offered by a Latin music conference to date.
